CARCUSS/FAGISH FIRST NATION IS LOCATED IN THE TOWN OF CARCROSS. THESE FOLKS SPOKE ATHAPASKAN AND WERE TAGLISH. THEY BECAME HOME TO TRADERS FROM SOUTHEAST ALASKA WHO CAME TO THE YUKON FOR TRADE PURPOSES FOR 30 YEARS. THE CARCROSS/TAGLISH ARE DESCENDANTS OF THE TAGLISH AND TLINGIT. BY 2006 THEIR NATION BECAME THE SELF GOVERNING ONE.
THEY HAVE BUILT A GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE BASED ON THE CLAN SYSTEM. THERER ARE FIVE CLANS REPRESENTED. EACH CLAN PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN THE GOVERNANCE OF THIS FIRST NATION.
THEY ARE COMMITTED TO RESTORING JUSTICE AND BELIEVE IN THE WELLNESS OF THE COMMUNITY. THESE FOLKS HAVE POTLATCHES PRESERVING SONGS, DANCES AND ORAL HISTORIES. THEY PRESERVE THEIR ANCESTRAL STORIES.
