==Endangerment== With around 200 speakers as of 2011, the Ethnologue lists Kaska as Status 7 (shifting). It is mostly Kaska Dena Elders who are the fluent speakers<ref name=":1" /> despite four communities ([[Good Hope Lake]], [[Lower Post]], [[Watson Lake, Yukon|Watson Lake]] and [[Ross River, Yukon|Ross River]]) where the language is taught in schools.<ref>{{Ethnologue17|kkz}}</ref> Kaska Dena children are not learning to be fluent because many families do not use the Kaska language at home.<ref name=":2" /> The Kaska Dena people recognize the importance in revitalizing the Kaska language and have worked towards building Kaska language written and oral materials as well as programs such as culture camps and training programs.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Meek |first1=A.
