The following changes have now been completed on the GeoYukon First Nations map service.
New layers
The changes include the addition of new Indigenous Boundaries layers that represent divisions between geographic regions associated with Indigenous governments.
To improve usability, the Indigenous Boundaries - 250k and Indigenous Boundaries - 1M layers have been separated into two categories on GeoYukon: Treaties and Agreements, and Claims and Assertions.
- Indigenous Boundaries - 250k (Indigenous Boundaries - 250k)
- Treaties and Agreements - 250k (Treaties and Agreements - 250k)
- Claims and Assertions - 250k (Claims and Assertions - 250k)
- Indigenous Boundaries - 1M (Indigenous Boundaries - 1M)
- Treaties and Agreements - 1M (Treaties and Agreements - 1M)
- Claims and Assertions - 1M (Claims and Assertions - 1M)
- Indigenous Boundaries - Core Areas (Indigenous Boundaries - Core Areas)

- First Nation Traditional Territories - 250k (First Nation Traditional Territories - 250k)
