Publishing Information
This resource appears to be a compilation of multiple placename lists and maps, and includes repeats of lists at different stages of revision. Alaska Native Language Archive dates it as 1978, although some sections include more recent resources. It was revised in 2001.
The Deg Hit'an–Holikachuk Place Names from 2001, begins on page 12 of the PDF and goes to page 22. Older versions of the same word list are included in other parts of the PDF.
There is no distinction between Deg Xinag and Holikachuk in the resource, so it is unclear if it includes both languages.
