 In the time before Yukon people, there was only crow, so says the story. Flying around, crow grew tired of the dull and empty land, and so he set about creating Yukon as it is today. Crow created the mighty rivers, streams and lakes, dropping fish in them, which he knew could be used for food. He created many different trees and plants he knew could be used for medicines. He created the mountains and the valleys, dropping the animals he knew could be used to feed families. The last thing crow did was create the people of Yukon. He made both men and women out of cottonwood bark, dividing them into two clans. Setting the people around his campfire, crow said, You are going to be on my side of the fire, and you will be called crow people. You, on the other side of the fire, will be called wolf people. Crow made one extra crow woman, but the wolf people were jealous, so crow gave her to the wolf clan, making them both equal. Crow then told the people, now crow will only marry wolf, and wolf will only marry crow. This is just one of the stories of creation told by our people. It has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years.
