Richard Shorty Legacy, Indigenous Art & Yukon River Quest
As the Midnight Sun paints the northern skies in shades of gold, June in the Yukon brings a magical time of celebration, reflection, and community gathering. This month, we honor the extraordinary life and artistic legacy of Northern Tutchone master artist Richard Shorty (1959–2024), celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day on the traditional territories of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Ta’an Kwäch’än Council, and cheer on the legendary paddlers of the 700km Yukon River Quest. Join us as we explore river-inspired fine art, authentic handcrafted First Nations treasures, and rugged northern Father's Day gifts that embody the wild, enduring spirit of the North.
Yukon Art, Indigenous Crafts & Klondike Heritage
Summer north of 60° is an absolute celebration of light, life, and wilderness spirit. Whether you’re heading out to the cabin, keeping creative hands busy with kids on break, or exploring Whitehorse and the historic Klondike loop for the very first time, northern art offers a profound connection to this land. Dive in to explore the bold, textured wildlife paintings of Kari Lehr, hands-on Indigenous craft and carving kits, packable travel treasures, and historic watercolours that capture the enduring sourdough charm of the Yukon under the Midnight Sun.
