intrinsic.city acknowledges that the city we call Anchorage occupies the traditional homelands of the Dena’ina Athabaskans. For centuries, their sustainable and symbiotic relationships with animals, waters, and land have preserved the natural wonders which draw us to this place.

We make our homes here with gratefulness and respect for the contributions, innovations, and contemporary perspectives of the Dena’ina people.
