Where the Fish Were Running: Telling the Intertwined Story of Kahnuht’ana Dena’ina and Salmon in the Nineteenth Century with Dr. Adam Dunstan
The histories of salmon and Indigenous people in Kahtnu (Kenai River) are intertwined, and extend back millenia. Salmon were, and are, a keystone of the culture. Dr. Dunstan will draw on a variety of historic, explorer, oral history, archaeological, and ethnographic accounts (some unpublished or rare) to consider the various roles played by łuq’a (salmon) in Kahnuht'ana (Kenai River) Dena'ina communities in the 19th century.
