Kluane National Park and Reserve is an impressive place. The park includes many of Canada’s tallest mountains. In addition to elevation, landscapes in the park are influenced by Pacific, Arctic, and boreal environments. Over thousands of years, First Nations peoples, including Southern Tutchone people of Champagne and Aishihik First Nations and Kluane First Nation, have acquired and passed down the knowledge and skills needed to live off of the abundance of plants and animals in this land of climatic and geographic extremes.
Following the completion of land claim agreements, Kluane National Park and Reserve is now managed cooperatively by Champagne and Aishihik First Nations, Kluane First Nation, and Parks Canada, through the Kluane National Park Management Board. The themes of reconnection, sharing, welcoming and cooperation are woven throughout this management plan.
