| Yukon is the westernmost and smallest of
Canada's three territories. It was named after the Yukon River,
Yukon meaning "Great River" in Gwich’in. The name
Yukon Territory may also be used, although this usage is disputed
by residents of the territory. The federal government's most recent
update of the Yukon Act in 2003 confirmed Yukon, rather than Yukon
Territory, as the current usage standard. |
