GWICH'IN GATHERING
July 13-19 2008
The Biennial Gwich'in Gathering started in 1988 in Arctic Village, Alaska on the direction of the late Elder, Myra "Choo" Kyikavichik of Old Crow, Yukon. She felt that the Gwich'in Nation consisting of Gwich'in communities in eastern Alaska, North Yukon, and western North West Territories needed to come together to discuss issues surrounding the protection of our culture, livelihood, and the Porcupine Caribou Herd.
Since this time, selected Gwich'in communities such as Arctic Village AK, Venetie AK, Fort Yukon AK, Fort Mcpherson NWT, Aklavik NWT, and Old Crow YT have hosted the Biennial Gathering.
This year Old Crow was chosen again to host the Gathering.
