Denduu

Denduu, or Birch Creek, flows from the ridges of interior Alaska into the broad Yukon Flats. Its watershed is the country of the Dendoo Gwich’in, the Birch Creek people. Rivers, wooded valleys and uplands formed part of a seasonal round of fishing and hunting, with families moving between places as animals and fish became available. The creek joins the Yukon in a landscape of wetlands and branching waterways.
