Teełay

Teełay, or Tetlin, lies along the Tetlin River near the headwaters of the Tanana. The Upper Tanana name refers to a stream flowing down, and the surrounding country includes lakes, river channels and the routes of migratory birds. Tetlin and neighbouring Last Tetlin were associated with an Upper Tanana group whose families travelled between hunting and fishing camps as the seasons changed. The lakes and waterways of the upper Tanana formed part of a homeland that reached toward the mountains and the country to the east.
