This thesis is framed by two questions about the experience of identity for Yukon First Nations Youth: (1) How are Yukon First Nations Youth able to develop and sustain their individual and collective identity by balancing the two worlds they live in?

This thesis focuses on solutions for the First Nations youth in the Yukon, as described by two Elders, two service providers, a mom and a dad, and the two youth that I talked to, thus taking a unique and insightful approach.
