daXunhyuu

The dAXunhyuu, or Eyak people, live on the northern shore of the Gulf of Alaska near the Copper River delta. Eyak accounts tell of ancestors travelling down the river from the interior in wooden canoes and finding abundant resources at the coast. Salmon sustained communities such as Alaganik near the delta and Eyak at the outlet of the lake of the same name. Their neighbours included Chugach people to the west and Tlingit to the east.
