In August the Yukon First Nation Salmon Stewardship Alliance cohosted the Annual Salmon Ceremony and Gathering in partnership with the Little Salmon Carmacks First Nations, the Salmon Knowledge Hub, and the Canadian Mountain Network. The gathering took place on the land at Tatchun Creek, close to where it meets the Yukon River, with the goal of re-energizing salmon culture and calling the salmon back.
