Named for the native North Americans who originally settled in the subarctic region that is now Northwestern Canada and central Alaska. The Athabascan hunter-gatherers comprise a diverse group whose influence spread, about a thousand years ago, as far as the southwestern United States. They are the ancestors of the Navajo {see planet  (3688)} and Apache peoples. (M 18644) _ _.
