Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation History
Old Crow is the only Yukon community located north of the Arctic Circle. Situated on the banks of the Porcupine
River, Old Crow is accessible only by aircraft or by river and occasionally by winter road. Old Crow derives its
name from a Gwich’in Chief, “Deetru` K`avihdik”, which means “Crow May I Walk”. Following the chief’s death in
the 1870’s, his people named the river and mountain in his honour, thus becoming the community of Old Crow.
“Vuntut Gwitchin”, meaning “People of the Lakes”, is one group of the Gwich’in Nation living across the north
into Alaska and the Northwest Territories (N.W.T.). The name “Vuntut Gwitchin” derives from the heartland of the
people - the Old Crow Flats, an area covered by small and large lakes. Each family group in Old Crow has their own
trapping area that has been passed down from generation to generation.
The Vuntut Gwitchin continue to use the land and its resources as they have for thousands of years. With a vast
traditional territory, approximately 50,000 square miles, the Vuntut Gwitchin rely heavily on the land and on the
Porcupine Caribou Herd for food, shelter and medicines.
The Gwich’in Athapaskan language has also been known as Loucheux, Kutchin and Tukudh. The language is used
in northern Yukon, northeast Alaska and northwest N.W.T. The Gwich’in language has been taught in the Chief
Zzeh Gittlit School in Old Crow since the early 1970’s. Gwich’in classes are attended by virtually all the students
during the year.
The Vuntut Gwitchin Final Agreement was signed on May 29, 1993, and came into effect on February 14, 1995.
The Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation administer the following departments in order to meet the needs of their community members: Executive, Finance, Natural Resources, Information Systems, Health & Social, Human Resources,
Education, and Government Services and Housing.

Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation Self-Government Agreement
Land Claim Agreements
The Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation signed Final and Self-Government Agreements with Yukon and Canada on May
29, 1993. The Effective Date of these agreements was February 14, 1995.
Government Structure
The Vuntut Gwitchin government structure is established by its Constitution, which was developed according
to the Self-Government Agreement. Among other things, the Constitution divides the Vuntut Gwitchin government into four branches: the Chief and Council, the General Assembly, the Elders Council, and the Tribal Court.
Traditional Territory
The Traditional Territory of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation is centred on the village of Old Crow in northern
Yukon. In very generalized terms, this area of historic use and occupation extends north from the Ogilvie River
on the Dempster Highway to the height of land marking drainage to the Arctic Ocean and from the Alaska/Yukon border east to the Yukon/NWT border. Approximately 63% of this Traditional Territory is north of the Arctic
Circle.
Settlement Land and Special Management Areas
Through the terms of the Umbrella Final Agreement, Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation owns the following Settlement Land:
•
7,744.06 km² of Category A Land – meaning that the First Nation owns both the surface of the land as well
as what is below it (such as minerals and oil and gas).
•
7.1 km² of land allocated per section 4.3.4 of the Final Agreement.
Unlike the other Yukon First Nations, which received a split of Category A and Category B Land, all of the Vuntut
Gwitchin’s Settlement Land parcels (other than the section 4.3.4 allocation) are Category A.
The Vuntut Gwitchin Final Agreement created three Special Management Areas – Vuntut National Park, Fishing
Branch Ecological Reserve and the Old Crow Flats area. Vuntut was designated under Canada’s National Parks
Act, Fishing Branch was designated under Yukon’s Parks Act, while the Old Crow Flats Area is managed in accordance with an agreed-to Management Plan.
Heritage Sites
The Vuntut Gwitchin Final Agreement requires the creation of Rampart House and Lapierre House (two fur trade
posts) as Historic Sites under the Historic Resources Act. Rampart House is located downstream from Old Crow,
on the Porcupine River at the Yukon/Alaska border. Lapierre House is located on the Bell River, which flows into
the Porcupine River upstream of Old Crow.
The Final Agreement also identified ten heritage routes (for example Old Crow to Rampart House) and five sites
(such as caribou fences) to which specific provisions in the Final Agreement apply.
Financial Compensation
In accordance with the terms of Chapter 19 of the Umbrella Final Agreement, the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation
became entitled, on the Effective Date of its Final Agreement, to its share of the financial compensation package
provided by Canada. This amounted to $19,161,859, as measured in 1989 dollars. The Final Agreements include
formulae for determining each First Nation’s Adjusted Final Share; in the case of the Vuntut Gwitchin, factoring
in interest, this resulted in 15 annual payments of $2,402,204, starting on the date the Agreement was signed
(May 29, 1993).
Taxation
As a self-governing Yukon First Nation, Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation has the authority for taxation, for local purposes, of interest in Settlement Land and of occupants and tenants of that land. The First Nation is also able to
enter into ‘tax sharing’ arrangements with Canada and Yukon regarding the sharing of tax-generated revenue.
Vuntut Gwitchin passed the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation Income Tax Act in 1998. The Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation is responsible for paying property taxes for some, but not all Settlement Land, in accordance with Chapter
21 of the Final Agreement. Property taxes are not paid on unimproved rural Settlement Land.
Economic Development Measures
Chapter 22 of the Vuntut Gwitchin Final Agreement provides for certain economic development measures intended to provide Yukon Indian People with opportunities to participate in the Yukon economy and to ensure
they obtain economic benefits that flow directly from the Agreement.

Definitions
Aboriginal identity population: Aboriginal identity refers to those persons who reported identifying with at least one Aboriginal group, that is, North American Indian, Métis or Inuit, and/or those
who reported being a Treaty Indian or a Registered Indian, as defined by the Indian Act of Canada,
and/or those who reported they were members of an Indian band or First Nation.
Aboriginal population: There are different ways to identify the Aboriginal population based on
four questions asked in the census (Aboriginal identity; member of an Indian Band/First Nation;
Registered or Treaty Indian; and ethnic origin, including Aboriginal ancestries) depending on the
focus and the requirements of the data user.
Area suppression for income characteristic data: When applied for data quality purposes, is
used to replace all income characteristic data with zeroes for geographic areas with populations
and/or number of households below a specific threshold. Income characteristic data are zeroed
out for areas where the population is less than 250 or where the number of private households is
less than 40.
Category ‘A’ Settlement Land: Land which has been identified pursuant to 5.3.1, declared pursuant to 5.12.1.1, or designated pursuant to 7.5.2.8 (a) to be Category A Settlement Land and which
has not ceased to be Settlement Land in accordance with 5.11.0. (includes subsurface mines and
minerals).
Category ‘B’ Settlement Land: Land which has been identified pursuant to 5.3.1, declared pursuant to 5.12.1.2, or designated pursuant to 7.5.2.8 (b) to be Category B Settlement Land and which
has not ceased to be Settlement Land in accordance with 5.11.0. (does not include subsurface
mines and minerals).
Census family: Refers to a married couple (with or without children of either or both spouses), a
couple living common-law (with or without children of either or both partners) or a lone parent
of any marital status, with at least one child living in the same dwelling. A couple may be of opposite or same sex. ‘Children’ refer to blood, step- or adopted sons and daughters (regardless of age
or marital status) who are living in the same dwelling as their parent(s), as well as grandchildren in
households where there are no parents present.
Census subdivision types: City (CY); Indian Reserve (IRI); Settlement (SÉ); Unorganized (NO); Town
(T); Village (VL).
Economic family: Refers to a group of two or more persons who live in the same dwelling and are
related to each other by blood, marriage, common-law or adoption. A couple may be of opposite
or same sex. Foster children are included.
Employed: Persons who, during the week (Sunday to Saturday) prior to Census Day (May 16, 2006):
1. did any work at all for pay or in self-employment or without pay in a family farm, business or professional practice or, 2.were absent from their job or business, with or without pay, for the entire
week because of a vacation, an illness, a labour dispute at their place of work, or any other reasons.
Employment rate: Refers to the number of persons employed in the week (Sunday to Saturday)
prior to Census Day (May 16, 2006), expressed as a percentage of the total population 15 years of
age and over. The employment rate for a particular group (age, sex, marital status, geographic area,
etc.) is the number of employed persons in that group, expressed as a percentage of the total population, in that group.
Fee Simple Settlement Land: Land which has been identified pursuant to 5.3.1, declared pursuant to 5.12.1.3, or designated pursuant to 7.5.2.8 (b) to be Fee Simple Settlement Land and which
has not ceased to be Settlement Land in accordance with 5.11.0. (fee simple Settlement Land is
owned under the same form of fee simple title as is commonly held by individuals who own land).
Household: Refers to a person or a group of persons (other than foreign residents) who occupy
the same dwelling and do not have a usual place of residence elsewhere in Canada. It may consist
17
of a family group (census family) with or without other persons, of two or more families sharing
a dwelling, of a group of unrelated persons, or of one person living alone. Household members
who are temporarily absent on Census Day (e.g., temporary residents elsewhere) are considered as
part of their usual household. For census purposes, every person is a member of one and only one
household. Unless otherwise specified, all data in household reports are for private households
only.
Median age: The point where exactly one-half of the population is older and the other half is
younger.
Median income: The point where exactly one-half of income recipients aged 15 years and over has
more income and the other half has less income.
N.I.E.: not included elsewhere.
N.O.S.: not otherwise specified.
Participation rate: Refers to the labour force in the week (Sunday to Saturday) prior to Census Day
(May 16, 2006), expressed as a percentage of the population 15 years of age and over. The participation rate for a particular group (age, sex, marital status, geographic area, etc.) is the total labour
force in that group, expressed as a percentage of the total population in that group.
Postsecondary education: Educational attainment above the level of secondary (high school)
completion. This includes apprenticeship or trades certificate; college or CEGEP diploma; university
certificate or diploma below bachelor level; university degree at bachelor’s degree and above.
Random rounding: All counts in census tabulations are randomly rounded either up or down to a
multiple of ‘5’, and in some cases ‘10’, providing strong protection against disclosure. Similarly, percentages, which are calculated on rounded figures, do not necessarily add up to 100%. A value of
“0” in any given cell represents one of the following: 1) value is actually zero; 2) value may be random rounded to zero; or 3) value is more than zero but is suppressed for confidentiality reasons.
Settlement Land: Category A Settlement Land, Category B Settlement Land or Fee Simple Settlement Land.
Total Income: Total of income from all sources, including employment income, income from government programs, pension income, investment income and any other money income.

2006), were without paid work or without self-employment work and were available for work and
either: 1. had actively looked for paid work in the past four weeks; or 2. were on temporary layoff and expected to return to their job; or 3. had definite arrangements to start a new job in four
weeks or less.
Unemployment rate: Refers to the unemployed expressed as a percentage of the labour force in
the week (Sunday to Saturday) prior to Census Day (May 16, 2006). The unemployment rate for a
particular group (age, sex, martial status, geographic area, etc.) is the unemployed in that group,
expressed as a percentage of the labour force in that group, in the week prior to enumeration.
