The Lower Tanana linguistic group focuses on traditional place names in Minto Flats, the greater Fairbanks area, and spreads south toward Denali National Park. The dataset was initially spatially projected by Alaska Native Language Center researchers. It also draws on information from Elizabeth Andrews and Robert Drozda. This data set incorporates edits and additions made after 2011 by Gerad Smith. See Kari et al. 2012 for the full published list of Lower Tanana place names.
