- A national park – potentially the fourth in the Yukon Territory -- in the Peel Watershed would only be created with the full support the Gwich'in Tribal Council and the First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun.
- The signing of this collaboration accord between the Gwich'in Tribal Council, the First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun, Parks Canada, and the Government of Yukon is great news.
- Currently, the Yukon Territory has a total of three national parks or national park reserves: Ivvavik National Park; Kluane National Park and Reserve; and Vuntut National Park.
