Description: The Han are a native Athabascan people distinguished by the Hän language and their homeland in the Yukon Territory.

The authors have been able to trace back five or six generations to the early 19th centurey for at least ten distinct Han families. Almost most all of these have descendants in Eagle Village, although the families probably came from other settlements. They did not include some Han families that appear in early censuses but have no living descendants.
