“The city of Anchorage was built upon the traditional homeland of the Dena’ina. While Anchorage proper was not a Dena’ina village site, many important Dena’ina cultural sites were located here.” [Dena’inaq’ Huch’ulyeshi: The Dena’ina Way of Living, Anchorage Museum]
“The deepest levels of Dena’ina identity remain: ancestry and family, landscape and tradition, stories and language, and the reciprocal and respectful relationship between the Dena’ina and the natural world.” [Identity. Landscape. Tradition. Resilience., Anchorage Museum]
