HistoryIndian name reported by the Western Union Telegraph expedition in 1867 as "Tananah" which according to Dall (1870, p. 281) means "mountain river." The Hudson's Bay Company traders called it "Gens des Buttes" (French meaning "mountain people") which actually referred to the Indians living on its upper course and on the Nabesna River. It was also known as "River of the Mountain Men." The present spelling of the name was recorded in 1885 by Lieutenant Allen (1887, p. 71), USA.
