Ten Yukoners will be inducted into the Order of Yukon on January 1, and one of them is Bess Colley, who is a genealogist.
Commissioner of Yukon Angélique Bernard announced on Wednesday the names of the inductees who were chosen for their “demonstrated excellence and achievement and their outstanding contributions to the social, cultural or economic well-being of Yukon and its residents.”
Ms. Cooley is a master of the Tlingit language and has done significant work on the genealogy of the inland Tlingit.
