In the Pit with Peter

Join Peter and special guests Victoria Fred and Norma Kassi for a lunchtime conversation.

Brought to you by the School of Indigenous Governance, this event brings together students, staff, faculty, and community members across the north to explore Yukon land claims, self-government, and the broader issues shaping the North.

Each session will feature community guests joining Peter Johnston for an open, engaging discussion. Future guests will include Indigenous leaders, negotiators, policy experts, Elders, youth, and community advocates who have helped shape the Yukon we know today.

With decades of leadership experience, including serving as Grand Chief of the Council of Yukon First Nations and Chief of the Teslin Tlingit Council, Peter brings deep knowledge, personal stories, and a welcoming style that makes these conversations accessible and engaging.

Coffee, tea and cookies will be served.
