The Yukon entered the Canadian Confederation in 1898, making it 110 years old as of the year 2008.
In Yukon, the push for confederation was primarily led by influential figures such as Elijah Smith and other Indigenous leaders, as well as local politicians and business interests. They sought greater autonomy and better governance for the territory, advocating for Yukon to join Canada as a province. This movement gained momentum in the 1960s, driven by a desire for more control over land, resources, and local affairs. The efforts ultimately contributed to the establishment of the Yukon Act in 1979, which granted the territory more self-governance.
