BEAVER CREEK,
YUKON TERRITORIES

The most westernly community in Canada and the Yukon's gateway to Alaska.

White River First Nation:

Beaver Creek is the home of the White River First Nation, which is culturally affiliated with both the Upper Tanana people of Alaska and the Northern Tutchone people to the south and east. This area has been inhabited for over 10,000 years. The Upper Tanana traditional area extends deep into the Alaskan interior and into the Yukons mid-western section. Long ago, no borders divided the people of White River and their relatives in Alaskan villages. Today, members of the White River First Nation are very active in their cultural revival, promoting traditional dancing, singing and language programs. (Credit TravelYukon.com)
