Danzhit Khànlai

Danzhit Khànlai lies where the Yukon River emerges towards the broad flats of interior Alaska. Birch Creek joins the great river nearby, crossing wetlands and forest on its way from the uplands. The surrounding country was used by Gwich’in people who hunted and fished along these waters. The Dendoo Gwich’in lived in the Birch Creek country, while the Gwichyaa Gwich’in are associated with the Yukon Flats farther downstream.
