The Ross River Dena : a Yukon Aboriginal economy / prepared by Martin Weinstein.: Z1-1991/1-41-23E-PDF

“This report examines the Aboriginal economy of the Ross River Kaska Dena. Ross River is a small, semi-isolated, ethnically-mixed village in the southeast Yukon. The Ross River Kaska make up about 60% of the village's population. As an economic case study, the experience of the Ross River Kaska provides insights into subarctic aboriginal communities which have become linked by roads, have experienced major resource developments on nearby traditional lands, and which have been involved in land claims negotiations”--Intro., p. 1.
