About the Book

Chapters: Fort Yukon, Alaska, Gwich'in Language, Fort Mcpherson, Northwest Territories, Old Crow, Yukon, Arctic Son, Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation, Dihai-Kutchin. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 37. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge.
