Kantishna

South of Denali, the Chulitna River drains valleys beneath the Alaska Range towards the Susitna. The Dena'ina people of the Susitna country travelled north into these mountains; the Dashq'e Ht'ana of Kroto Creek went up the Chulitna and Tokositna rivers in autumn to hunt caribou, moose and ground squirrels. Farther east, Dena'ina and Ahtna families used the Talkeetna River drainage.
