Anchorage Museum

The Anchorage Museum Association will develop Dena’inaq’ Huch’ulyeshi: The Dena’ina Way of Living, the first exhibition of its kind to present and interpret the history and culture of the Dena’ina Athabascans. The 5,000-square-foot exhibition will feature more than 200 objects, including important early Dena’ina pieces from European museums: sinew-backed bows, arrows fletched with hawk feathers, and caribou skin clothing adorned with finely woven bands of porcupine quills. Visitors will gain a better understanding of the Dena’ina past through iconic scenes of subsistence activities and learn who the Dena’ina are today and what it means to be a Dena’ina in the 21st century.
