Ggaal Doh

Ggaal Doh was a Koyukon village site on the Yukon River in interior Alaska. Its name refers to the king salmon, and local oral history remembers people fishing from canoes and maintaining a shared smokehouse there. The surrounding country of river channels, lakes and wetlands connected fishing places with the forested uplands. A portage route from this stretch of the Yukon led west to Unalakleet on the Bering Sea, linking inland and coastal communities.
