The Koyukon were a human ethnic group native to Alaska. They held a deep reverence for nature and believed in spirits such as Raven Father and Sedna. When Shaun Brett began building a monument to his deceased father, the local Koyukon saw the gathering of building materials as a desecration of the land they revered. Brett employed Tulung and Gaborik to assure them that he honoured their traditions. (AUDIO: The Land of the Dead)
