The Northern Tutchone inhabit the centre of the Yukon, often referred to as the ‘heart'. There are three modern day political organizations that make up the Northern Tutchone Tribal Council; The First Nation of Na-cho N'yak Dun, Selkirk First Nation, and the Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation. All have signed their First Nation Final Agreements and are now self-governing. Selkirk First Nation is located in Pelly Crossing; however, this is not the original village site. The small villages of Fort Selkirk and Minto were home to the people of this area prior to the building of the Klondike Highway in the 1950's.
