This page provides links to digital copies of language lessons, literacy session booklets, and story books that have been prepared over the past thirty years by the Yukon Native Language Centre and Elders and community members from the Northern Tutchone Nations of Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation, Selkirk First Nation, First Nation of Na-Cho Nyak Dun, and White River First Nation. The work of all contributors to these materials is gratefully acknowledged here.
Recognizing the importance for Yukon First Nations governments, Elders, advocates, learners, and teachers of Hän to have access to language resources, the Council of Yukon First Nations‘ Yukon Native Language Centre and Yukon Education‘s First Nations Programs and Partnerships Unit have worked together to provide the language materials below with assistance from Christopher Cox.
