Koyukon People

The Koyukon are a group of Athabaskan people living in northern Alaska. Their traditional home is along the Koyukuk and Yukon rivers where they subsisted by hunting and trapping for thousands of years. Many Koyukon live in a similar manner today.

The Koyukon language belongs to a widespread family called Na-Dene or Athabaskan spoken by native people scattered throughout northwestern North America and in pockets as far south as California and Arizona.

Famous quotes containing the word people:

    People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
