The Yukon River flows with our history, culture, and responsibility
The Yukon River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (YRITFC) is a a tribal consortium representing member Tribal Governments and First Nations committed to defending salmon, our lifeways, and the future of our people. Grounded in Indigenous knowledge and leadership, we work across generations and boundaries to ensure that salmon return to our waters—and to our communities—for generations to come.
Founded on tribal unity, the Yukon River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission was formed for the health and wellbeing of our tribal members, our future generations, and all Alaskans and Canadians who rely upon the health of the fish.
