Lower Tanana Athabascan Place Names

ANLA is pleased to announce the availability of a new online publication: Lower Tanana Athabascan Place Names. Edited by James Kari, this publication provides a comprehensive inventory of indigenous place names from the Lower Tanana region.

In addition to a listing of more than 1000 names with English glosses, this publication includes 3 full-color large-format wall maps in pdf format. A unique feature of this online place names publication is the inclusion of ArcGIS geodatabase files which allow Lower Tanana place names to be incorporated into other digital mapping projects.
