Thus the tales are peopled with foxes, beavers, wolverines, porcupines, and other animals, some of which disguise themselves in human form for sinister purposes and all of which have human desires and weaknesses.

 Contact History: Nikolai-Telida Village History Report
With the establishment of trading posts on the Kenai Peninsula in the late 1700's, the Tanaina Athabaskans were brought into direct contact with Europeans and their trade goods.
In 1841 the post had taken in 2,000 beaver pelts, but Zagoskin reported, "In 1842 through ignorance as to which tribes carried on trade with this settlement, the Kenai (Tanaina) were given the means of crossing over the mountains to the Upper Kuskokwim, and the number of furs collected sank to 1,200" (Zagoskin 1967:254).
This indicates that the Tanaina Athabaskans from Cook Inlet began crossing the Alaska Range to trade with the Upper Kuskokwim Athabaskans in 1842.

 Cook Inlet Areawide 1999, Final Finding of the Director
Tanaina Indian groups entered the Cook Inlet subregion through the Alaska Range from the west, primarily through Rainy, Merrill, and Lake Clark Passes, and continued this southeastward migration until most of their villages were located on or near the major salmon producing streams of Cook Inlet (AEIDC, 1974:177).
Tanaina villages consisted of four or five large semi-subterranean log structures; each occupied by several nuclear families belonging to the same clan.
Russian fur traders and missionaries of the Russian Orthodox Church were the first to establish non-Native outposts in the region in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
