Globe and Mail Wed. June 9th. Globe Life Food Section. There is a great article on The Boreal Gourmet featuring Michele Genest in the Yukon.
She writes a column for Nort of Ordinary Magazine and has just published a book called appropriately:

The Boreal Gourmet: Adventures in Northern Cooking.This is part cookbook, part info-guide and part gastro-memoire.

I think you should look her up. At the least get a copy of the article...perhaps you can access it online at The Glob & Maul.
