Central Forest

Wooded hills rise south of the Yukon River, between the Birch Creek watershed and the upper Yukon country of the Hän. The Dendoo Gwich’in lived across much of the country south of the river, including the surrounding mountain ranges. Families travelled between rivers and uplands to hunt and fish, following the seasons. Farther east, Hän hunters also used the hills above the Yukon for caribou and sheep.
