Hello, my name is Yu’Ka and I’m the Yukon mascot for the 2007 Canada Winter Games.  My name is pronounced U – kah meaning Northern Lights in Kaska.  My name was chosen by a grade 8 Kaska Language class in Watson Lake, Yukon.  My parka is made of melton cloth with fur trim.  My mukluks are made of moose hide.  Both my parka and mukluks are decorated with beadwork created by local Yukon artist, Karen Bien.
