Quick answer
Bukki son of Jogli is named as the prince of Dan to help apportion the land. He represents the tribe of Dan.
Overview
Dan's leader is included as the allotment is carefully arranged tribe by tribe. Dan would later struggle to hold its assigned territory and migrate north (Judges 18). The naming here reflects God's just provision for each tribe even where human faithfulness later faltered.
