YUKON RIVER, Yukon It is the fourth longest river in North America, 3200 kilometres from its headwaters in Northern BC to its outlet in the Bering Sea. We will follow the river from its glacial beginnings in British Columbia, through Whitehorse and the wild Miles Canyon, and meet a family that lives on Lake Laberge. From the Heritage-designated “Thirty Mile” to the legend-filled environs of Dawson City, the Yukon River has had a profound influence on the area's history, and continues to influence the lives of the Han people who gather in Moosehide to celebrate their cultural roots.
