Journal Article
Yukon First Nations Settlement Land Development
2025
Overview
As part of modern treaties in the Yukon, self-governing Yukon First Nations each hold title to significant amounts of \"Settlement Land.\" Modernization of the Yukon Government's Land Titles Act in 2016 made it possible for subsidiary title, including leasehold interests on Settlement Land, to be entered on the Yukon Government's land titles registry without extinguishing Indigenous rights and title. The Land Titles Act changes also means that development on Settlement Land is now \"bankable,\" as lending institutions have gained the authority to seize a leasehold land title in case a mortgage defaults. Modernization of the Yukon's land titles statute was a first step in unlocking the potential of Settlement Lands for the benefit of Yukon First Nations citizens and beneficiaries, and encouraging economic development throughout the Yukon. In addition to describing how the Yukon's land titles statute was modernized, this article identifies next steps in realizing the economic development potential, including a discussion of potential benefits and remaining challenges for projects related to leasehold developments on Settlement Land. The article concludes by highlighting examples of early leasehold development successes.
