Summary Information:
The Gwich段n Tribal Council was established to represent Gwich'in people in the Gwich段n Comprehensive Land Claims Agreement (GCLCA) in 1992. The GTC manages land and funds provided under the GCLCA. It is the primary Gwich段n organisation for the Gwich段n Settlement Region. The GTC has formed various organisations to carry out the GCLCA.
