The University of British Columbia/ref> The Kaska Dene region consists of a small area in the Southwestern part of the Northwest Territories, the Southeastern part of Yukon Territory, and the Northern part of British Columbia.

Membership The Kaska Nation is made up of three First Nations including: History The Kaska Nations are a part of the Canadian Northern Athabaskan also referred to as the Dene. It is not known where the name "Kaska" came from though: one theory is that it came from the word in the Tahltan language for their tribe, or it could have come from Europeans and been influenced by a native word they associated with a place nearby. It is believed by members of the Kaska Nations that the Ross River Natives are descended from the Tlingit and the rest of the Nations formed as groups from the Ross River tribe left to explore and settled in other areas. European contact The Kaska's first contact with Europeans began in the 1820s with traders from the Hudson Bay Company. The Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company began setting up ...

Kaskians
The Kaska (also Kaška, later Tabalian Kasku and Gasga,) were a loosely affiliated Bronze Age non-Indo-European tribal people, who spoke the unclassified Kaskian language and lived in mountainous East Pontic Anatolia, known from Hittite sources. They lived in the mountainous region between the core Hittite region in eastern Anatolia and the Black Sea, and are cited as the reason that the later Hittite Empire never extended northward to that area. They are sometimes identified with the Caucones known from Greek records. Early history The Kaska, probably originating from the eastern shore of the Propontis,Toumanoff, Cyril (1967). ''Studies in Christian Caucasian History'', pp. 55–56. Georgetown University Press. may have displaced the speakers of the Palaic language from their home in Pala. The Kaska first appear in the Hittite prayer inscriptions that date from the reign of Hantili II, c. 1450 BC, and make references to their movement into the ruins of the holy city of Neri ...

Kaskian Language
Kaskian (Kaskean) was the language of the Kaskians (Kaska) of northeastern Bronze Age Anatolia in the mountains along the Black Sea coast. The ''Encyclopedia of Indo-European Culture'' lists the Kaskians as non–Indo-European. There are a number of theories regarding to which language family the Kaskian language belonged. It is sometimes suspected that Kaskian was related to the pre-Hittite Hattic language, based on toponyms and personal names; the Hattic moon god was named Kasku. Conversely, the Kaskian language may have been an Indo-European language, perhaps related to Thraco-Phrygian. There may also be connections to the Northwest Caucasian languages; the name ''Kaskian'' may be cognate with an old name for Circassia, and the name of one of the tribes in the Kaskian confederation, the Abešla, may be cognate with the endonym of the Abkhaz people and some Circassian people, suggesting the Kaskians proper and Abešla might have been the ancestors of the Circassians and oth ...
