Yukon or The Yukon is one of Canada's northern territories, in the country's extreme northwest.
Its ragged eastern boundary mostly follows the watershed between the Yukon Basin and the Mackenzie River watershed to the east in the Mackenzie mountains.
The two main Yukon rivers flowing into the Mackenzie in the Northwest Territories are the Liard River in the southeast and the Peel River and its tributaries in the northeast.
In the Yukon’s waters swim the plentiful arctic grayling, northern pike, rainbow and lake trout, whitefish, and salmon.
The indigenous population in the Yukon Territory at the time of the 2001 census was 29.5 percent of the population.
The Yukon Territory is represented in the Canadian Parliament by one elected representative in the House of Commons and by one senator appointed by the federal government.
