Mayo is a village in Yukon, Canada, along the Silver Trail and the Stewart River. The population at the 2011 census around 400 people, a decrease of 8.9% from the 2006 census. It is also the home of the First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun, whose primary language is Northern Tutchone. Nacho Nyak Dun translates into "big river people". It is serviced by Mayo Airport. It was formerly known as Mayo Landing.
The only school is J. V. Clark School, which is named after Dr. Clark. It had about 70 students in 2012.
The village was named after former circus acrobat turned settler and explorer Alfred Mayo.
Before Europeans came there were in the area two communities of the Nacho Nyak Dun people, who lived by hunting and trapping. The river now known as the Stewart River was known as the "Náhcho Nyäk" ("Great River"). The people lived across the Stewart River from the main focus of today's Mayo, in a district today called "Old Mayo village". The old settlement was reinstated on the initiative of a missionary, but in 1934 the river burst its banks and flattened much of the old village, destroying the church and many cultural treasures.
Yukon (/ˈjuːkɒn/; also commonly called the Yukon) is the westernmost and smallest of Canada's three federal territories. Whitehorse is the territorial capital and Yukon's only city.
The territory was split from the Northwest Territories in 1898 and was named the "Yukon Territory". The federal government's Yukon Act, which received royal assent on March 27, 2002, established "Yukon" as the territory's official name, though "Yukon Territory" is also still popular in usage and Canada Post continues to use the territory's internationally approved postal abbreviation of YT. Though officially bilingual (English and French), the Yukon Government also recognizes First Nations languages.
At 5,959 m (19,551 ft), Yukon's Mount Logan, in Kluane National Park and Reserve, is the highest mountain in Canada and the second-highest on the North American continent (after Denali in the U.S. state of Alaska). Most of Yukon has a Subarctic climate, characterized by long cold winters and brief warm summers. The Arctic Ocean coast has a tundra climate.
Yukon was a three-piece experimental band from Baltimore, MD.
The band consisted of Nick Podgurski (drums/vocals), Sam Garrett (guitar) and Brad Smith (bass). Various four-piece incarnations included Denny Bowen (of Double Dagger and Roomrunner), and Tom Ferrara.
Regional and national touring with Little Women, Calabi Yau, Archaeopteryx and Rick Weaver of The New Flesh.
Yukon also performed at Whartscape and the International Noise Conference (Miami, FL) in 2007.
Members of Yukon co-curated with fellow Brooklyn math-rock band, Stay Fucked, the Dark Forces Swing Blind Punches festival in Philadelphia, which was held December 2006 and featured current innovative music from bands such as Dysrhythmia and Zs.
2007's Mortar was co-released by the band in part with Terra Firma Records. It was followed in 2008 by Medallion on Infinite Limbs. In the time that passed between Mortar and Medallion the band saw the exchange of original guitarist Tom Ferrara for Sam Garrett and the exit of guitarist/vocalist Denny Bowen. Medallion is the only recorded output of the shortly lived four-piece including both Garrett and Bowen on guitar. Medallion was recorded with Bowen on guitar after his leaving the band. This began the band's shift into trio and Podgurski's role as both drummer and vocalist. In early 2009, the song "Zero Gravity Chamber" was re-released as part of Damage Rituals Cassettes' "The Dead Hand: Human Machines" compilation along with tracks from groups such as Zs, Weasel Walter Trio, and Muscle Brain.

La primera vez apenas me gustó
fué por la nariz
por no decir que no
que el no es de cobardes
y a los dieciseis
se prueba como es de hondo
el rio con los dos pies
La segunda vez, me fué gustando mas
sentí su poder
su sensación de paz
y a los pocos meses
me empecé a picar
Yo siempre pense que lo podía controlar
lo de dejarlo ya lo he intentado más de una vez
y más de cinco y mas de diez
Pero no hay forma no hay manera
con la mierda del caballo no hay quien
pueda olerla es Meter los pies
Cuando no quedó ya nada que robarles
me empecé a chutar
delante de mis padres
pero me agobiaban
venga a preguntar
Dinos hijo mio: que es lo que hemos hecho mal
lo de dejarlo ya lo he intentado más de una vez
y más de cinco y mas de diez
Pero no hay forma no hay manera
con la mierda del caballo no hay quien pueda
Si estas enganchao
te quedan dos de dos
robar pa comprar
o venderla y sisar
Y las dos terminan antes o después
con el culo roto y el sida en Carabanchel
lo de dejarlo
lo de dejarlo.
