How do you pronounce Bear in Dena'ina?

Blog, Uncategorized
If you have ever wondered how to pronounce the Dena'ina trail names we have underneath the english name we have a resource for you; The Kenai Dena'ina Language Home Page. The site has a lot of sound files imbedded and you can hear real native speakers.  Several of our trail names are listed under the vocabulary tab.  The web site is a work in progress and works better on Firefox or Chrome than it does on Internet Explorer.  It works even better on Safari. The website is maintained by Alan Boraas, one of Tsalteshi's founding fathers.

Yup, our community ROCKS!

Blog, Uncategorized
We had an ambitious trail user help us out by creating a new Tsalteshi map that includes the squirrel, the new trail, and the psycocross add-ons.  Thanks!  He is also lobbying for "no-see-um" as the new trail name by putting it on the map and coming up with a pretty decent double entendre.  Here is his description: "...today while trying to clock the length of the new trail,  I ripped off my rear derailleur on a particularly stealthy root. Had to hoof it to the road, and coast back into town.  Brian at Beemuns was keen to make the connection: "definitely didn't see that root coming" --- no-see-um,  indeed." Tsalteshi Trails Map
