Note: The Middle Tanana place name list is currently under editorial review
The Middle Tanana linguistic group is focused along the Tanana River between Fairbanks and Delta Junction. James Kari and Siri Tuttle have collected names in this group, primarily from contributors Eva Moffit and Abraham Luke, which was georeferenced by Gerad Smith. The names list is designed to accompany the published Middle Tanana Athabascan Place Names List (Kari, James and Siri Tuttle, 1996 and Kari 2015).
