Carcross/Tagish First Nation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Carcross/Tagish First Nation is a First Nation in the Yukon Territory in Canada. Its original population centres were Carcross, Yukon and Tagish, Yukon, although many of its citizens also live in Whitehorse. The languages originally spoken by Carcross/Tagish people were Tagish and Tlingit.
The original gold discovery that led to the Klondike Gold Rush was made by Tagish people.
While the First Nation negotiated a land claims agreement, the population refused to ratify it in a referendum in 2005.
