I love finding out about the Etymology of different places. Do you know anything about the Yukon's? 
 I sure do, the territory is named after the Yukon river, the longest river in Yukon. 
 How long is the Yukon river? 
 I do not have that information right now, but did you know that the name itself is from a contraction of the words in the Gwich'in phrase chuu gajj han, which means white water river and refers to "the pale colour" of the glacial runoff in the Yukon River. 
 That's interesting. The name infers that there are glaciers there? 
 Yes, that's right! The southern Yukon is dotted with a large number of large, long and narrow glacier-fed alpine lakes, most of which flow into the Yukon River system. 
 That sounds so amazing! Do you have any interesting facts about their Government? 
 I sure do, actually, the Yukon New Democratic Party (NDP) formed the government from 1985 when it became a separate district of the Northwest Territories. 
 Do you have any further information on when that happened? 
 What I do know is one Yukon member of parliament, Erik Nielsen was the Deputy Prime Minister under the government of Brian Mulroney, while another, Audrey McLaughlin, was the leader of the federal New Democratic Party from 1989 to 1995. 
 So what type of government do they have? 
 I do not have that information but appointed to the senate in 1999 by Prime Minister Jean Chretien, Christensen resigned in December 2006 to help her ailing husband. 
 That's fine. Thanks for the help! 
 You're welcome!
