Taats'altey

Taats’altęy is a crossing of the Tanana River in the homeland of the Daendeh, the people of the Tanana watershed. For centuries their families moved through a broad territory between the Copper and Tanana rivers, following caribou and other game and using fishing places along the waterways. Village sites changed over time: Ketchumstuk, farther from the crossing, was occupied for several centuries. The river crossing belongs to this landscape of trails, camps and settlements, where travel linked the upper Tanana country with neighbouring regions.
