CURRENT MISSION

hmmm as a kid I always told myself my mission in life is to help the people in which ever way possible

ABOUT ME

Well my name Isaiah Gilson, I am a Sothern Tutchone First Nation from Burwash Landing Kluane. Born and Raised in Yukon Territory. I had a very "old school" upbringing. I spent most of my life living on the land, so I appreciate natural wonders of this world. Im very knowledgeable of my culture, and still learn it to this day. I want to travel the world and see the sights, share my experinces and stories. Life is just amazing and I find it awesome to hear about peoples journeys. Im pretty easy going, go with the flow kinda guy. one thing is i dont drink due to personal reasons but i do know how to party! I try to be a open minded individual, as I see it if we are open to the world around us, then we can fully utilize opportunity, if we close out minds to the world around us in life we close that opportunity to learn from it.

“My purpose in life is to help my people, once I fulfill that purpose, so will my purpose in life” Nelson Mandela
