What needs further research

  • Retain existing p123-s1 and p123-s2; their community scope remains Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in, not all Hän people.
  • Replacement preserves p123-s3 citation resolution while correcting its subject.
  • Do not infer current speaker totals or universal class access from this page.
