Gwich'in
The Gwich’in are am Athabaskan-speaking First Nations of Canada and an Alaska Native people. They live in the northwestern part of North America, mostly above the Arctic Circle.
Gwich’in men are well known for their crafting of snowshoes, birchbark canoes, and the two-way sled. The women are renowned for their intricate and ornate beadwork. They also continue to make traditional caribou-skin clothing and porcupine quillwork embroidery, both of which are highly regarded among Gwich'in. Today the economy is mostly a mix of hunting, fishing, and seasonal wage-paying employment.
==Name==
Their name is sometimes spelled ''Kutchin'' or ''Gwitchin'' and translates as "one who dwells" or "resident of (region )." Historically, the French called the Gwich'in Loucheux ("squinters"), as well as the Tukudh, a also term used by Anglican missionaries. Gwich’in often refer to themselves by the term Dinjii Zhuu instead of Gwich’in. ''Dinjii Zhuu'' literally translates as "Small People," but figuratively it refers to all Indians, not just Gwich’in.
