Native American tribes (specifically Hän, Gwitchin, and Koyukon)

The Hän, Gwich’in, and Koyukon are Alaska Native tribes with rich cultural traditions rooted in the northern and Arctic regions of North America. The Hän are known for their deep connection to the environment, particularly their seasonal migrations and fishing practices. The Gwich’in inhabit the northern Yukon and Arctic Coastal Plain, with a strong focus on subsistence hunting, especially caribou. The Koyukon reside along the Koyukuk River and are traditionally hunter-gatherers, relied on fishing, hunting, and gathering for sustenance. All three tribes have distinct languages, customs, and histories that reflect their close relationship with the land and wildlife.
