Hän People
The Han (also Hankutchin or Hän) are a Northern Athabascan people who speak (or spoke) the Hän language. Only a handful of fluent speakers remain. Their traditional land centered around a heavily forested area around the Yukon River straddling what is now the Alaska-Yukon Territory border. In later times, the Han population became centered around Dawson City, Yukon and Eagle, Alaska.
Famous quotes containing the word people:
“I tell people that when my son was this age, all of the things he did that really aggravated me and got me upset were things that, from the standpoint of healthy child development, I wanted him to do. I just didn’t want him to do them to me, or at those particular moments!”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
