(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Athabascan or Athapascan or Athapaskan or Athabaskan is the name of a Native American people, also known as the Athabasca Indians or Athabaskes, and of their language family. Tribes that belong to the Athapascan group include the Apache, Chipewyan (also called Dene), Hupa, Navaho, Jicarilla, Kiowa, Kuchin, Lipan, Mescalero, Sarsi, and Taculli.

Anthropologists have identified a large group of languages within the Na-Dene language family spoken by peoples throughout the interior of Alaska and the interior of northwestern Canada, in northern California and southern Oregon, and in the American Southwest.
