Original Text
I shared a little bit about myself in my traditional languages of Southern Tutchone and Tlingit. I continue to learn who we are as Yukon First Nations people. We are a people that deeply value, honor and respect the roles of women. We always have. We're a matrilineal culture. And so, traditionally, our matriarchs would often guide and direct the speakers of the people, otherwise known as the chiefs. This important role of forging trade relationships, forging marriage alliances and ensuring that all of the business that needed to take place in the community was happening was all guided and directed by our matriarchs.
