2022 Yukon First Nations Engagement on Community Safety
In July and August 2022, the AFN Yukon engaged Yukon First Nations to hear their perspectives and priorities on community safety. We supported the inaugural Indigenous Community Safety Summit, hosted on the traditional territories of Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Ta’an Kwäch’än Council in Whitehorse, Yukon from August 2-4, 2022. We also published an online survey to hear Yukon First Nations perspectives on community safety, policing, and justice. The feedback and perspectives we heard through this engagement are being shared with the national AFN Secretariat to help guide their advocacy on the federal First Nations policing legislation and the Indigenous Justice Strategy.
