Athapascan

On the north, Quoratean tribes extended to the Athapascan territory near the Oregon line.

This ancient Athapascan alliance is another link in the chain connecting the Kiowa with the far north.

Merriam deviated from Kroeber very widely in his tribal names for the Athapascan groups.

For the three remaining northern Athapascan tribes we possess very little data of a strictly ethnographic character.
