Since time immemorial the Gwich'in peoples have lived on the lands now known by settlers as the Yukon and the Northwest Territories. They form part of a larger group of Indigenous peoples known as the Athapaskans. This includes the Dogrib, Slavey, Han and Tutchone peoples. Leadership from the Loucheux of the Arctic Red River, now known as the Tsiigehtchic, and Fort McPHerson, now known as the Teetl'it Zheh signed Treaty 11 with King George V in July 1921. This was a formally recognized nation to nation agreement.
