History

Nondalton is an Athabascan Indian (Tanaina and Iliamna) village. The name Nondalton is a Tanaina name first recorded in 1909. The village was originally located on the north shore of Six Mile Lake but it was moved in 1940 to the present location, due to wood depletion in the surrounding area and growing mud flats.

Subsistence hunting and fishing are the major economic activities.
