PEOPLE and THE LAND

Learn more about the language and culture of the people who gave Denali its name and shaped its landscape.

"The Nenana Project: Providing young people with the tools to learn language and songs" offers audio recordings of 10 songs and dozens of photographs of the people of the Lower Tanana River area.

The site was created as a virtual communication tool to strengthen the community.

VOLUNTEER CONTRIBUTIONS RECOGNIZED

Kent Miller is an accomplished professional photographer and photojournalism professor at Central Michigan University. During June and August 2008, he traveled to Alaska and donated 19 days of his time to the park. Working 15-hour days on a routine basis, Miller shot more than 14,000 images all told. After further editing and processing, he gave park officials more than 1,400 photographs to use and distribute without restriction. A sampling is presented here for view and public download. Miller's gift has brought new life to the collection of images that the park uses in web pages and online products, brochures, bulletin boards and ranger programs. Clearly, the impact of his time in the park will be felt for many years to come.

Did You Know?
Did you know that Denali National Park and Preserve is home to both black bears and grizzly (brown) bears? Black bears inhabit the forested areas of the park, while grizzly bears mainly live on the open tundra. Almost all bears seen by visitors along the Park Road are grizzlies.
