Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in First Nation
The Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in is a self-governing Yukon First Nation based in Dawson City, whose traditional territory spans the upper central, western area of the Yukon South Beringia. Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in citizens are descendants of the Hän-speaking people, who have lived along the Yukon River for millennia, and a diverse mix of families descended from Gwich’in, Northern Tutchone and other language groups.
