Vuntut National Park lies above the Arctic Circle in northern Yukon, a remote wilderness with a First Nations history going back millennia. It includes part of the Old Crow Flats, a vast wetland of shallow lakes and streams important to the Vuntut Gwitchin for hunting and traditional practices, and the range of the Porcupine caribou herd, which is central to Vuntut Gwitchin culture.
