Danggene is the Ahtna word for Eyak. These are the founder's two tribes. The Eyak people live at the mouth of the Copper River, and the Ahtna people live upriver. There is a long history of the tribes working together in the harsh Alaska climate. Light-hearted inclusion, ingenuity, and teamwork define Danggene Consulting. We strive to bring these values to all we do.
