Luke Campbell was introduced by the party during a Zoom call at lunchtime today.
A backgrounder from the party stated he is a “Champagne and Aishihik citizen who grew up in Shadhäla (Champagne). After going to school in Whitehorse, Campbell moved back to Shadhäla, his hometown, three years ago to reconnect to where he is from.
“I come from a long line of leaders,” Campbell said. “My family are leaders in the bush and leaders in the boardroom. I want to be genuine and speak the truth.
“I have never forgotten where I come from and how I always should reflect on the past to make the future better.”

Never rattle at your neighbours, killing them could endanger your health. if you re a red squirrel.
Have you ever seen more than one squirrel together anywhere except an artificial feeding station? They are not the most social creatures. However, even the anti-social squirrel benefits from getting along with its neighbours according to research carried out by a researcher at the University of Exeter.

Living beside familiar neighbours boosts a squirrel s chances of survival and successful breeding, new research shows.
The study measured year-to-year survival of North American red squirrels - and found keeping the same neighbours was so beneficial that it outweighed the negative effects of growing a year older.
A squirrel’s chances of survival and successful breeding are improved if it lives next to familiar neighbours, researchers say.
A study measured year-to-year survival of North American red squirrels – and found keeping the same neighbours was so beneficial that it outweighed the negative effects of growing a year older.
However, researchers found that living near genetic neighbours did not improve survival rates.
Lead author Dr Erin Siracusa, of the Centre for Research in Animal Behaviour at the University of Exeter, said: “These squirrels are solitary – each defending a territory with a ‘midden’ (food stash) at the centre – so we might assume they don’t co-operate.”

Living beside familiar neighbours boosts a squirrel s chances of survival and successful breeding, new research shows.
The study measured year-to-year survival of North American red squirrels - and found keeping the same neighbours was so beneficial that it outweighed the negative effects of growing a year older.
However, living near genetic relatives did not improve survival rates.
The research - part of the Kluane Red Squirrel Project - used 22 years of data on squirrels in Yukon, Canada, within the traditional territory of the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations. These squirrels are solitary - each defending a territory with a midden (food stash) at the centre - so we might assume they don t cooperate, said lead author Dr Erin Siracusa, of the Centre for Research in Animal Behaviour at the University of Exeter.
