		In the preconquest period, Athabascan was a large and extensive group of tongues.
		Today the surviving Athabascan languages include Chipewyan, Kutchin, Carrier, and Sarsi (all in Canada); Chasta-Costa (in Oregon); Hoopa or Hupa (in California); Navajo (in New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah); and Apache (in Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Mexico).
		The speech communities of most Athabascan languages today are small, with the exception of Navajo, which has roughly 150,000 speakers, most of whom can also speak English.

		Understandably, many Athabascan parents have been reluctant to encourage or send their high school age children so many miles away from home to live and be educated in a foreign culture.
		From our experiences with the Athabascan people living in the nine villages, it is apparent the elders wish to see the preservation of their society and are concerned its structure and values be passed on to succeeding generations without radical change.
		Athabascan tribal society, as it is found in the upper Yukon, is committed to the ideals of strong personal integrity and cooperative living.

		The Athabascans have matrilineal system in which children belong to the mother's clan, rather than to the father's clan, with the exception of the Holikachuk and the Deg Hit'an.
		Traditional Athabascan husbands were expected to live with the wife's family during the first year, when the new husband would work for the family and go hunting with his brothers-in-law.
		A central feature of traditional Athabascan life was (and still is for some) a system whereby the mother's brother takes social responsibility for training and socializing his sister's children so that the children grow up knowing their clan history and customs.

		Athabascans paid homage to the animal spirits to prevent them from leaving the land.
		The herds of giant mammoths, the horses, bison, tiaga antelope, and caribou were less numerous than they had been centuries earlier, their numbers cut back by the years of severe cold and increasing glaciation.
		Judge James Wickersham had suggested they might set up a few reservations, but the Athabascan elders looked to their centuries of roaming over the vast Interior, hunting and gathering with the seasons, and decided their people could not live on plots of a few acres.

		Clothing for the Athabascans was tailored of tanned caribou or moose hide and was decorated with quills, pieces of fur, or trade beads.
		There are strong attempts in both urban and rural areas to retain the Athabascan cultures and various languages as a way for the people to maintain their identity and develop cultural pride.
		One way the Athabascan people have been able to maintain their identity and culture, as well as share it with the rest of the world, is by getting involved with the state tourism business.

		In addition most Athabascan peoples during the historic period have been involved with the fur trade and spent long stretches in the winter tending trap lines that extended for long miles through the wilderness.
		Because of this mobile lifestyle in which their possessions were carried in canoes or pulled in dogsleds, or left in seasonal camps, the Athabascans came to decorate their clothing and household items.
		During the prehistoric period porcupine quills, seeds and dentalium shells decorated their clothing; in the historic period Athabascan women eagerly began using beads as a symbol of wealth and as a means of forming designs.

	Giuliana's Beaded Embroidery
		Although I am sure that there are some deviances, all of the Athabascan embroidery that I have seen has been done on felt or leather.
		Some of the Athabascan pieces are first stitched onto the felt, and then appliqued onto objects.
		One similarity between the modern and medieval styles of embroidery is the size of the beads.

	Dayton v. State (6/21/2002) ap-1806
		Although the crime lab created the Athabascan database after the mistrial and the sample collectors avoided samples from anyone who might be related to Dayton, there was testimony at trial that the samples were not collected solely for the purpose of prosecuting this case.
		Using the Athabascan database developed by the state crime lab, the State's expert testified that the likelihood was 1 in 2.5 million that the DNA profile from the sperm fraction taken from S.S. would be repeated randomly.
		If the Athabascan DNA database was compiled from a group that had more than its expected share of Dayton's biological relatives, this statistical aberration would favor Dayton.
