Dleł Taaneets

Dleł Taaneets lies on the south bank of the Yukon River, where the water passes through a range of low mountains. The Koyukon name is associated with a hanging moose hide, recalled by the colour of the bluffs near the village. The surrounding boreal forest and river belong to a landscape used by Koyukon Dene families through the seasons. Salmon, plants and berries are gathered in their time, while moose and other animals provide food and materials. The Yukon forms a route through the hills of the interior.
