Who we are
The Spiritual and Mental Wellness unit of Kwanlin Dün First Nation’s Natsékhi Kų̀ Health Centre offers quality programs to Yukon First Nation families and relatives. Our land-based programming is offered at the Jackson Lake Healing Camp, 15 km southwest of Whitehorse by the serene shores of Jackson Lake on the traditional lands of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation.
