Gwich'in by Matthias Breiter
Of the societies that survived, those living in inhospitable areas unsuited for cultivation preserved their traditional way of life the most. The Gwich’in live in the shadow of the Brooks Range and the Richardson Mountain in northern Alaska and Northwestern Canada. They are the northernmost Indian Nation with about 5 000 members residing in 15 villages. Due to isolation, to this day, Gwich’in society remains closer to its roots than most Aboriginal Nations. Many Gwich’in still speak their language. The Gwich’in have retained and preserved much of their traditional culture.
