Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in Government

Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in Government To work together, to speak with one voice, and to serve Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in Citizens. The Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in is a Yukon First Nation based in Dawson City.

The citizenship of roughly 1,100 includes 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. Yukon First Nations set the land-claims process in motion during the 1970s. Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in began negotiating their individual land claim in 1991. The Tr’ondëk Hwëc

h’in Final Agreement was signed on July 16, 1998, and came into effect on September 15, 1998. The Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Government ensures a strong and healthy future for citizens while maintaining connections to traditional knowledge and the land. The First Nation is governed by an elected Chief and four councillors, who rely on direction from the Elders’ Council, a body comprising all Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in people aged 55 and over. The General Assembly—all voting-age citizens—gather at least once a year to pass resolutions, approve legislation and provide direction to political leaders.
