Hućha Hudän

The Hućha Hudän, or “people of the flat country,” are Northern Tutchone people of the lower Pelly and Yukon rivers. The meeting of the two rivers was a summer fishing and gathering place, where they traded with Coastal Tlingit visitors. Families moved between seasonal camps, fishing in summer and hunting as autumn approached. The confluence later became known as Fort Selkirk, after a Hudson’s Bay Company post was established there.
