The people of Yekooche are Dakelh and speak the Stuart Lake dialect of the Carrier language.

Currently, the majority of people residing in Yekooche seek out social assistance programmes such as Work Opportunity Program, TESI and Basic Needs.
The Elementary school consists of the head start program, adult basic education, Carrier language courses, and Kindergarten to grade seven.
Yekooche First Nation and CSFS have an agreement for the health programme, whereby CSFS provides Yekooche with healthcare services including a nurse, dental care practitioners, doctor appointments, medical travel funds, workshops, clinic maintenance, etc.
