Gwich’in Tribal Council 2025-2026 Annual Report
The Gwich’in Tribal Council Annual Report provides Gwich’in Participants, Designated Gwich’in Organizations, communities and partners with an overview of GTC's work, priorities and progress over the reporting year. It brings together work from across the organization, from treaty implementation and land stewardship to housing, language revitalization, health and wellness, education, culture and Participant services, while looking ahead to the priorities and opportunities shaping the future of the Gwich’in Nation. The Gwich’in Tribal Council's 2025-2026 Annual Report is now available. Throughout 2025-2026, GTC continued to deliver for Gwich’in Participants, strengthen communities, advance treaty and nation-building priorities, uphold responsibilities to lands, waters, culture and language, strengthen internal systems and prepare the Gwich’in Nation for future opportunities. The report highlights progress across GTC, including almost 100 home repair work orders, new resources and training to expand opportunities to hear, speak, learn and practice Dinjii Zhuh Ginjik, and advancing Gwich’in interests in major future opportunities, including the Mackenzie Valley Highway and planned defense-related infrastructure in the Gwich’in Settlement Area. In his message to Gwich’in Participants, Grand Chief Frederick Blake Jr. reflects on the importance of "unity through partnership" as the Nation responds to both current challenges and generational opportunities. He connects that approach to the longstanding Gwich’in tradition of teamwork and shared responsibility, including continued efforts to protect the Porcupine Caribou and ensure major projects create meaningful benefits for Gwich’in Participants and communities. Printed copies of the Annual Report are now ready for distribution.
