Dawna Hope, chief of the Na-Cho Nyak Dun First Nation in the Yukon, speaks at a news conference in Whitehorse, Aug. 10, 2023.

NorthSome Yukon First Nations are blasting the territorial government and the mining industry, in the wake of this week's major ore slide at the Eagle gold mine near Mayo, Yukon.

"We're concerned of the health of the land, the water, the fish and the animals, not only for the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun, but also for our relations downstream, and their environment," she said.
