Ggax Kuna

Ggax Kuna lies where the Gakona River joins the Copper River in the homeland of the Ahtna people. Its Ahtna name means “Rabbit River.” For thousands of years the Ahtna have lived in the Copper River basin and the surrounding country; the site of Ggax Kuna was used seasonally as a fishing and firewood camp. The river and its tributaries form part of an extensive network of Ahtna homelands in interior Alaska.
