Tr'ondek Hwech'in Government

The Trondk Hwchin are a Yukon First Nation based in Dawson City. The citizenship of roughly 1,100 includes descendants of the Hn-speaking people, who have lived along the Yukon River for millennia, and a diverse mix of families descended from Gwichin, Northern Tutchone and other language groups.

The Trondk Hwchin 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 Trondk Hwchin people aged 55 and over. The General Assemblyall voting-age citizensgather at least once a year to pass extraordinary resolutions, approve legislation and provide direction to political leaders.
