The Border That Crossed a People
Indigenous peoples have lived in what is now Yukon and Alaska for at least 14,000 years. Probably longer.
The border between them was drawn in 1825 (Russia-Britain) and adjusted in 1867 (Russia-US purchase). Nobody asked the Gwich'in, the Hän, the Tlingit, the Yup'ik, the Iñupiat, or any of the other nations whose territories it bisected.
That border has separated families, disrupted traditional economies, and complicated governance ever since.
