Hohudodetlaatl Denh

Hohudodetlaatl Denh lies near the meeting of the Tanana and Yukon rivers, a traditional gathering place on the boundaries of Koyukon, Gwich’in and Tanana lands. Each spring people came together before travelling to summer fishing camps. Chiefs discussed matters affecting their communities, families arranged marriages, and visitors exchanged furs, dried foods, skins, coastal oils and copper-bladed spears. Games tested strength and endurance. Known as Nuchalawoyya, the meeting place brought people from different river valleys together at one of the great junctions of the Alaskan interior.
