Dena'ina

Alaskan language regions

The Dena'ina (also called Tanaina ) are Alaskan natives who live in the Cook Inlet area in central southern Alaska . Their home areas ( Dena'ina Ełnena ) are larger than 100,000 square kilometers. The current population is estimated at 1,400, of whom about 70 speak Dena'ina, a dialect of the Athapaskan languages . They are the only ones of the northern athabasques who live on the coast, which is why they have been able to settle down through fishing.
