It also is the 2nd-least populated province or territory in Canada . bordering the U.S. state of Alaska to the west & northwest , The Northwest Territories to the east & British Columbia to the south mostly northern coast is on the Beaufort Sea. Its ragged eastern boundary mostly follows the divide between the Yukon Basin and the Mackenzie River drainage basin to the east in the Mackenzie mountains. Whitehorse is the capital of Yukon. Whitehorse is known for many things. It played a major role in the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush as a supply center for prospectors and stampeders heading to Dawson City. The Yukon has a wide array of cultural & sporting events that attract artists, local residents, & tourists. Annual events include Klondike Gold Rush memorials. The Yukon's Aboriginal culture is also strongly reflected in such areas as winter sports, as in the Yukon Quest sled dog races . Aside from Yukon's influential First Nations groups, which include about 25 % of the total population, the territory also contains a strong French-speaking community. Several trading posts & art galleries sell handmade jewelry, carvings, & clothing made by talented locals. Traditional First Nations dishes such as bannock & smoked salmon are a hallmark of Yukon's cuisine as well as caribou Meat ( venison) lest we forget Poutine. 🇨🇦
