#013 – Keeping Yukon's History Alive and Well. An interview with historian Donna Clayson.
In today’s podcast interview, we only began to scratch the surface of Donna Clayson’s lifelong passion and enthusiasm towards preserving the Yukon’s rich history. As an accomplished writer of short stories, news articles, research papers, and often times history presenter at the Yukon Transportation Museum, she undoubtedly has a natural way of drawing the listener into her adventures.
Donna speaks of her own life experiences and recounts the lives and adventures of the old timers who influenced her, along with the fact that she’s lived off the grid for many years in the quintessential “log cabin in the woods”, speaks volumes about her character and embracing nature to embracing nature.
Selecting upon her chance meetings with some of the most colourful 5% the Yukon has ever known, and how these people have influenced her commitment to preserve the history and adventuresome stories of these men and women from our community, Donna gives forth a deep sense of place, purpose, and solitude living in harmony with the Yukon.
We also discuss her role as an administrator for the Yukon History and Abandoned Places FaceBook group started by Murray Lundberg and how she continues to be involved as a researcher with an upcoming Yukon documentary film. This is only the beginning of what’s yet to come so please stay tuned for more interviews with Donna in the very near future.
