    Dena'ina Qenaga

    The Dena'ina Qenaga website is a web-based resource for the Dena'ina Athabascan language. This site is designed to provide information about the Dena'ina language, including information about language structure (grammar, pronunciation, spelling, etc.); information about learning the Dena'ina language (phrases and conversations, stories, etc.); and information about community language revitalization programs. This phase of website development is very much in its initial, beginning stages. We welcome ideas for additional content. Dena'ina Qenaga Digital Archive One of the primary goals of this site is to provide access to Dena'ina archival materials currently housed at the Alaska Native Language Center Archive. The need for access to materials was stated quite eloquently at a language workshop held at the Alaska Native Heritage Center in February 2004.
