The Upper Kuskokwim linguistic group are associated with the upper Kuskokwim River and headwaters west of the Alaska Range. This dataset has been most recently compiled by James Kari and Teresa Hanson, which includes earlier work by Diane Gudgel-Holmes (the work also includes extensive research into recordings, field notes, and maps archived by others, in particular Miska Diafon and Ray Collins). This work was georeferenced by both Teresa Hanson and Gerad Smith. This work is ongoing but nearing completion for publication. (Kari 1999, 2015, and Gudgel-Holmes 1991).
