SATURDAY MARCH 26
YUKON YOUTH

2PM

First Hunt
Annie Kierans, YT, 2m, ani

A response to my experience joining
Tr’ondek Hwech’in youth on their first
caribou hunt on ther Hart River trail
near Cache Creek. A humble exploration
of my feelings or intrusion as a settler
descendant.

Norma’s Story
Alex Hawley, ON, 6m ani

Norma’s Story is a true tale of change. It
documents the effects of climate change
on the environment, culture and food
security of the Vuntut Gwitchin people of
the Northern Yukon as seen through the
eyes of Norma Kassi.

Frost Bite
Jack Amos and Kate Crocker
YT, 3m, exp

Don’t do aerial rope in the winter. It hurts!

Take me to Dawson City
Grade 8 Class,
Robert Service School, 1m

The Klondike Gold Rush was a unique
product of the economic and social
conditions of the time, blended with the
isolation and mystique of the northern
frontier, and the cosmopolitan mix of
people involved. The impact of Dawson
City’s colourful history on Canada, and on
Canadian’s vision of their country is much
larger than the small town today would
lead you to believe.
