Yukon License Plates

I spent some of this long weekend doing research on the Great White North. It relates to the trip I took last year to the Arctic. One focus, of course, will be on the Alaska Highway. Something I had a lot of time doing on my trip was looking at license plates. The plates of the Yukon Territory say a lot about the people, their heritage, and how their view of themselves have evolved over the second half of the 20th century.
