Traditionally Hän Gwich’in girls receive their first tattoos between the ages of 12 and 14, often at first menstruation, as a passage ritual.

Starting in the 2010s, some indigenous girls and women began to reclaim the tradition. Description Typical markings include vertical lines from the lower lip that extend to beneath the chin.
