Asi Keyi
Asi Keyi Territorial Park is identified under Chapter 10 of the Kluane First Nation Final Agreement. It is anticipated that it will also be included in the White River First Nation Final Agreement once it is completed.
Park Objectives
The objectives of Asi Keyi Territiorial Park, as identified in the Final Agreement, include:
- To protect for all time a natural area of territorial significance, which includes a portion of the Kluane Wildlife Sanctuary, containing physical and biological features of international significance as well as sites of archaeological, historical, and cultural value.
- To recognize and protect the traditional and current use of the area by Kluane and White River First Nation people.
- To provide economic opportunities for Kluane and White River First Nation people.
- To protect the full diversity of fish and wildlife and their habitats in the park from activities that could reduce the capability of the park to support fish and wildlife.
- To encourage public awareness, appreciation and enjoyment of the natural, historical and cultural resources of the park in a manner that will ensure it is protected for the benefit of future generations.
Park Status
Asi Keyi Territorial Park has not been formally established under the Yukon Parks and Land Certainty Act. The area within the park boundaries identified through land claim agreements has been permanently withdrawn from mineral and oil and gas exploration.
Yukon Government will establish an Asi Keyi Territorial Park Steering Committee – which will include representatives from Yukon Government and the two affected First.
The Steering Committee will consider the objectives of the park as set out in the Final Agreements when developing a management plan for Asi Keyi Territorial Park. The Steering Committee will be seeking public input at key stages of the planning process.
The plan will be jointly reviewed by the Yukon Government and each of the two affected First Nations before it is approved by the Yukon’s Minister of Environment.
