This report details a project aimed at reclaiming research to tell the story of climate change in the Kluane First Nation Traditional Territory. The project focuses on empowering Kluane First Nation (KFN) by establishing research protocols that align with their values and by involving KFN citizens in all aspects of current and future research, including youth mentorship.

Key outcomes include successful community events, such as the Kluane Lake Research Summits, which facilitated knowledge exchange and relationship-building between KFN and researchers. The development of KFN’s Research Expectations has laid the groundwork for future collaborations and serves as a model for other Yukon First Nations interested in creating their own research protocols.
