Gwich'in

The Gwich'in people are a group of people who live in Alaska and Canada, above the Arctic Circle.

 Name 
The Gwich'in call themselves the Dinjii Zhuu, which means "small people" in their language.

 Language 
The Gwich'in have their own language. It is split into two dialects, the Canadian and the American dialects. However, not many of them speak it as they now use English. In Alaska, only 300 Gwich'in know how to speak Gwich'in.

 Caribou 
The caribou is a very important animal in Gwich'in culture. Some of them call themselves the caribou people.
