The Northern Tutchone are a First Nations people of the Athabaskan-speaking ethnolinguistic group living mainly in the central Yukon in Canada. The Northern Tutchone language, originally spoken by the Northern Tutchone people, is a variety of the Tutchone language, part of the Athabaskan language family. "Song Keeper" Jerry Alfred is leading a movement to keep the language alive through his music.
Northern Tutchone First Nations governments and communities include:
- First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun (Mayo, Yukon) (Nacho Nyak Dun - ″Big River People″, because they called the Stewart River Na Cho Nyak, meaning Big River, most northerly Northern Tutchone First Nation)
- Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation (Carmacks, Yukon) (Tagé Cho Hudän - ″Big River People″)
- Selkirk First Nation (Pelly Crossing, Yukon) (Hućha Hudän - ″Flatland People″, because of the landscape in Fort Selkirk, where the land is flat on both sides of the river)
- White River First Nation (Beaver Creek, Yukon)
