Client Services

INAC offers a range of social services and education programs for First Nations clients:

• Social Services
• Education Support
• Registration and Estate Services

The INAC Yukon region delivers these services directly to individuals living in the Whitehorse area who are not members or citizens of one of the First Nations with offices in town (Kwanlin Dün, Ta'an Kwachan and Champagne and Aishihik), with the exception of Social Services, which are delivered to Ta'an Kwachan members through INAC Yukon Region. Individual First Nations also provide some or most of these services to members or citizens who live in their traditional territory.

Other government departments, both federal and territorial, also offer programs that First Nations people who live in the Yukon may need, such as health care.
