tell if this Settlement will be able to do for our children what we plan it to do". Provisions of agreements Umbrella Final Agreement (UFA) The Umbrella Final Agreement was the framework for negotiating individual Yukon First Nation Final and Self-Government Agreements. The UFA provided for a total amount of compensation and a land quantum amounting to about 8.5 per cent of the Yukon's area to be returned to First Nations. Most of the land is owned outright by First Nation governments, although a number of existing reserves were also retained. It also called for the creation of a number of boards and committees to provide community-based input, recommendations, and decisions to government. The 11 First Nations signatories to the agreement are: Champagne and Aishihik First Nations First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun Teslin Tlingit Council Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation Selkirk First Nation Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Ta’an Kwäch’än Council Kluane First Nation Kwanlin Dün First Nation Carcross/Tagish First Nation Final (land claim) Agreements The Final Agreements are constitutionally-protected (section 35) modern-day treaties. They define First Nations rights on Settlement Land, and within their Traditional Territory. They address a number of matters including heritage, fish and wildlife, non-renewable resources, water management, forestry, taxation, financial compensation, economic development measures and land owned and managed by the First Nation. Self-Government Agreements Each land claims agreement is also accompanied by a Self-Government agreement that gives First Nations the right to enact legislation in a number of areas. These agreements provide First Nations with the power to control and direct their own affairs and outline the ability of a First Nation to assume responsibility for delivering programs or services to its citizens. Other provisions of the Land Claims agreement are the elimination of taxation exemptions for Yukon First Nations people (effective January 1, 2001), a restriction of hunting rights of other aboriginal peoples on each First Nation's traditional territory, etc. External links Backgrounder on Kluane First Nation Final and Self-Government Agreements Text of the Umbrella Final Agreement Between The Government Of Canada, The Council For Yukon Indians And The Government Of The Indians And The Government Of The Yukon Information on INAC and their responsibilities The process to self governing in the Yukon Together Today for Our Children Tomorrow Mapping the Way - Information on Yukon Land Claim and Self-Government Agreements References First Nations in Yukon Aboriginal title in Canada
