Yaghanen nagh nduniuyu!

(Welcome to the good land in Dena’ina language)

“Nts’e doht’ae? Yaghali nlan du?” This is a traditional greeting in the languages of Ahtna and Dena’ina. It translates to the greeting, "How are you all doing?"

Kenai Peninsula College is UAA on the Yaghanen (Kenai Peninsula, the good land in Dena’ina). Check our partnership with UAA Native Student Services (NSS).
