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:
“I just want to tell you all how happy I am to be back in the studio, making a picture again! You don’t know much I’ve missed all of you.... You see, this is my life. It always will be! There’s nothing else. Just us, and the cameras, and those wonderful people out there in the dark. All right, Mr. de Mille. I’m ready for my closeup.”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
