A Native American people of Alaska, specifically an Athabaskan-speaking group traditionally inhabiting the Copper River region.
From Athabaskan languages, the term 'Ahtena' refers to a specific Indigenous group. The word is used in English ethnographic and anthropological literature to identify this nation.
The Ahtena lived in one of Alaska's harshest and most beautiful landscapes—they developed sophisticated ways to harvest salmon and copper in a region where survival itself is an achievement.
