CYFN Grand Chief:
Beyond the Mic

Host Grand Chief Peter Johnston is proud to support the priorities of Yukon First Nations both on and off the air. Inspired by the leaders and elders who delivered Together Today For Our Children Tomorrow to Parliament Hill in 1973, and by those who've been working to deliver on their commitments ever since, Rock the Talk is just one way Grand Chief and CYFN are helping to keep the conversation going.
