The Selkirk First Nation is made up of Northern Tutchone people known as the Hucha Hudan people or Flatland people. They are located in the village of Pelly Crossing on the Klondike Highway in the Central Yukon.
Land ownership and management was a major reason that the Yukon Final and Self-Government Agreements were negotiated. These agreements give direction on who owns the land and how decisions about land are made.
With implementing their Final and Self-Government Agreements, Yukon First Nation governments are also working towards becoming self-sustaining. With this in mind, many First Nations have created arms-length First Nation development corporations.
