Tribal Area Description
A Alaska Native Village in Alaska, Tanana is organized around ANVSA lands. The land base is relevant for broadband planning due to rural service coverage and middle-mile access constraints.
During World War II, an air base was established near Tanana as a refueling stop for the lend-lease aircraft program. Tanana is located in Interior Alaska about two miles west of the junction of the Tanana and Yukon Rivers, 130 air miles west of Fairbanks. Due to its location at the confluence of the Tanana and Yukon Rivers, Tanana was a traditional trading settlement for Koyukon and Tanana Athabascans long before European contact. In 1898 Fort Gibbon was founded at Tanana to maintain the telegraph line between Fairbanks and Nome. The City of Tanana was incorporated in 1961. The hospital facilities were remodeled for use as a health clinic, counseling center, tribal office, and regional elders’ residence. Traditional Athabascan ways of life persist — subsistence, potlatches, dances, and foot races are part of the culture.
