Inuvialuit

• The Accord ensures that Inuvialuit, along with residents of Yukon and the Northwest Territories, are the primary beneficiaries of economic activity from any oil and gas development in their regions.
• Once implemented in legislation, the Western Arctic – Tariuq (Offshore) Accord will establish an oil and gas co-management and revenue-sharing arrangement with the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation, the Government of the Northwest Territories, and the Government of Yukon, for the Accord area.
• The Government of Canada will collaborate with the parties to implement the Western Arctic – Tariuq (Offshore) Accord in federal legislation at the earliest opportunity.
• This accord is a positive step towards ensuring that the Northwest Territories will have direct involvement in important decisions that affect the Western Arctic – Tariuq (Offshore) alongside Canada, the Yukon and the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation."

• In summer 2022, the Northern WE in Tourism study invited Indigenous women entrepreneurs from northern Newfoundland and Labrador, northern Québec, Nunavut, the Yukon and Northwest Territories to collaborate on an Indigenous-led and ally-supported research project.
• Over shared stories of lived experiences and examples of best practices, participants discussed the barriers faced by Indigenous women entrepreneurs in the North and their colonial origins.

History of colonization

• If an Indigenous woman married outside her community, she lost her status.
• Her children were also denied their right to status, setting the foundation for intergenerational vulnerability and cultural alienation.
• Almost 1,200 missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls were identified by law enforcement between 1980 and 2012.

Indigenous tourism

• These conventional systems are not designed to factor the lived realities of Indigenous women into their operations.
• The complex challenges facing Indigenous women in Canada’s North cannot be resolved in isolation or at the discretion of the entities that created them.
• Often lacking Western educational requirements, business experience or associated skill sets, Indigenous women experience significant bias in accessing support.
• And tourism provides a gateway to entrepreneurship for Indigenous women, serving as a catalyst capable of influencing societal behaviour on a broader scale.

Understanding success

• Success requires healing and understanding the impact of intergenerational trauma.
• Viewing success through this lens places value on equity, the concept of continuity of culture and Indigenous integration and stewardship of their lands.
• As Indigenous business owner Joella Hogan put it:
  “I really try to lead my business with the values and teachings that I have been taught.
• Our Elders give us these teachings so we can be strong Northern Tutchone people and live our lives in a good way.

• The Governments of Canada and Yukon are committed to working together to protect and conserve biodiversity, habitat, and species at risk in the Yukon.
• The Government of Canada will invest a total of $20.6 million to implement the agreement and help protect nature.
• The Governments of Canada and Yukon will collaborate with Indigenous peoples and governments to implement Canada's first Nature Agreement and work toward its target outcomes.
• Moving forward, the CanadaYukon Nature Agreement will guide our actions, in partnership with Indigenous peoples, to conserve and protect nature in the Yukon."
