Nina No'

Nenana lies where the Nenana River meets the Tanana, in the western part of the Tanana Athabascan homeland. Both rivers provided salmon, and the surrounding country offered game. Families from the area joined the annual gathering at Nuchalawoyya, farther downriver at the junction of the Tanana and Yukon. There people from several groups traded and discussed hunting territories before returning to their seasonal camps. The meeting of rivers made Nenana a natural place to camp within this wider network of travel and exchange.
