Vehicle of Expression: Ft. Helen O'Connor
2017-08-22 10:00 - 2017-08-26 18:00 | Yukon Transportation Museum, 30 Electra Crescent, Whitehorse, Yukon, Y1A 0M7, Canada
We don’t know what Helen will create with our Whitehorse Street Piano, nevertheless it will be a vehicle of expression.
Come and watch her work with our stand-up grand and the theme of Yukon transportation from Tuesday August 22nd through Saturday August 26th roughly 10-6. Call us at 668-4792 if you want to know her schedule of the day. Regular museum admission applies.
Look what we found inside the piano – what a great business card!

Helen O’Connor: Originally from Ontario, O’Connor studied visual art at the University of Western Ontario and at the Ontario College of Art. During her studies, O’Connor was introduced to techniques for oriental and western papermaking by professor, Helmut Becker. Inspired by Becker’s work, which utilizes paper innovatively as a vehicle of expression, O’Connor began a journey of her own paper explorations.

Dań Kwanje ‘Á-Nààn: Voices Across the Water
2017-07-08 - 2017-07-20 | Yukon Transportation Museum, 30 Electra Crescent, Whitehorse, Yukon, Y1A 0M7, Canada
These completed watercraft will be on display in YTM’s Main Gallery.
.
For countless generations we – the Indigenous peoples of the North – have used the resources of our rugged homeland for food, shelter, clothing, tools, inspiration and meaning, always passing on knowledge to our descendants. People adapted in each place to camp, hunt, fish and gather materials for every need. Teslin Elder Virginia Smarch said our old people were “part of the land and part of the water.” Their life ways were self sufficient and sustainable over thousands of years.
In this vast land of long winters and short summers, travel was essential. Our ancestors were curious, ingenious and industrious – finding materials, experimenting with designs and honing their skills to build transport for food and families across ocean waters, fast flowing rivers and deep lakes.
Our cultures were overtaken by colonization in the centuries following first contact with newcomers. We persevered in reclaiming our lands, autonomy and cultures. Today 11 of 14 Yukon First Nations are self-governing, exploring new pathways to sustainable prosperity.
Resilient and resourceful Elders survived tough times, preserving our languages and cultures. Honouring them we are building four watercraft ~ a moose skin boat, birch bark canoe, dugout canoe and quyaq ~ for Canada’s 150th anniversary. Like the watercraft of earlier days we have arrived at a new destiny – a place of pride and celebration as independent Indigenous peoples. It is in this spirit that we join with other Canadians – young and old, new arrivals and long time settlers, to commemorate Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation.
Dań Kwanje ’Á–Nààn: Voices Across the Water carries messages for all of us and for people around the world. We have only to listen, to learn and to share in this time of reconciliation – moving forward together safely into the waters of tomorrow.

Dogs! Packing Our Stories Over New Trails
2017-06-20 14:00 - 16:00 | Yukon Transportation Museum, 30 Electra Crescent, Whitehorse, Yukon, Y1A 0M7, Canada
Dogs! featuring Frank Turner & John Firth
Frank Turner grew up in Toronto and graduated with a Master’s of Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University. In 1973 he lost a coin flip and instead of going to Mexico he ended up in the Yukon. He built a cabin on Squatters Road and his pet dog, Cheeko ended up getting pregnant which led Frank down a sled dog path that included competing in 24 Yukon Quests, becoming (and still) the only Canada-born musher to win the race. He also travelled to Siberia in 1991 and has travelled frequently on the Arctic Ocean.
John Firth is an award winning author of five books on Yukon sport and recreation. He will talk about the many roles that dog mushing has played in Yukon transportation history and tradition – including delivering mail, catching the bad guys and pilfering kegs of beer from the local pub – as well as the history of dog powered sport in the territory – including the characters of the Rendezvous races when they were the centerpiece of the end of winter celebrations.

Ewa is a Yukon adventurer whose travels have taken her trekking across the Canadian high arctic, climbing up the slopes of Africa’s Mt. Kilimanjaro and kayaking over Alaskan waters on the Pacific coast. Her latest expedition was inspired by a deeply personal family story – the forced deportation of her mother from Poland during WWII.
