Hardly a grand design : Aboriginal resettlement in the Yukon Territory after World War II : a report for the Royal Commission of Aboriginal Peoples / prepared by Ken Coates.: Z1-1991/1-41-18E-PDF

“This report examines the nature of post-war community formation in the Yukon Territory, considering both the multiple forces which encouraged Native peoples to move into villages and the social and cultural consequences of moving into year-round settlements. While there is considerable evidence to suggest that the federal government encouraged this migration, the report argues that other forces—the changing economy, the Natives' desire for access to government services, and the transformation of territorial society—also drew First Nations people to the villages. This process, while less dramatic than the large-scale relocation of the Eastern Arctic that have attracted so much attention, had sweeping implications for the Native people and were, moreover, similar to internal migrations and changing settlement patterns that occurred across the Canadian North”--Summary, p. 3-4.
