Green Initiatives & Environmental History for: Yukon


Basic History

Before the arrival of the Europeans, northern and the central parts of Yukon escaped the effects of glaciation. The land of southern Yukon were covered with dense layers of ash after the volcanic eruption from Mount Churchill. In the beginning of 19th century, trading expeditions started in the area with fur, and this brought European incursions followed by the Union Telegraph Expedition. At the end of nineteenth century gold miners also arrived in the area due to the rumours of finding gold in the area. It was also followed by the Gold Rush of Klondike in the year 1897, which led to the formation of a separate Yukon territory in 1898. The archeological significance of Yukon was auggmented with the findings of some of the earliest evidence of human occupation after conducting archeological excavation.
