We have intentionally excluded all potential references for the year 2017. This version is about 29 pages longer and has about 211 entries added since the previous version 3.1 of 2012. Aaron Leggett has added over fifty sources many being rare items from newpapers and magazines. Also many corrections and additions were made to entries in earlier versions. The bibliography is useful for Dena'ina and Cook Inlet research and scholarship. The strongest feature of the bibliography is the wide array of "grey literature" sources. These are from Alaska agencies (state and federal), tribal groups such as Kenaitze Indian Tribe or CIRI, and privately produced Alaskana publications. In the past ten years we have found that many Dena'ina language sources are becoming difficult to collect and to catalogue as dated entries. At the ANLA/ANLC at UAF between 2011 and 2017, only 35 Dena'ina items were catalogued. In all Alaska Native languages we see trends: digital audio recordings of ANLs language are not being collected and identified as they were in the era of the cassette tape recorder. Also digital ANL materials are often not dated nor copyrighted. To be sure, there is a need for one or two Dena'ina language archives and learning centers. I wish to thank Kenaitze Indian Tribe and the “Dena’ina Language Revitalization Project” for their support for several projects during 2017-2018, including this Vers. 4.3. Previous versions have had partial support from "Dena'ina Archiving, Training and Access" project (NSF-OPP 0326805, 2004) and from Lake Clark National Park. I thank Katherine Arndt of Alaska & Polar Regions at UAF for her careful proofreading. Introduction to 2011 edition 3.1 by James Kari This 2011 3.1 version of the bibliography is 13 pages longer than the 2005 version 2.4 and has added about 215 items. These are recent publications or other works that we have found. Also included in version 3.1 is a fairly extensive selection from the Dena’ina “Container List” at the Alaska Native Language Center Archive. As of early 2013 the Dena’ina Container List has over 825 items and is being updated regularly. Many unpublished items at the ANLC archive are given here with the archive catalogue number. See http://www.uaf.edu/anla/collections/denaina/list/. Some effort has been made to round up web-based materials that emphasize Dena’ina language. For convenience, many of these are grouped at the entry “Dena’ina.” Aaron Leggett has added many items from periodicals that he has discovered. There are some “digital only” citations that are subject to changes, and that may not be widely available. See entries under “Dena’ina. ” Also see the entry Kari 2007 Dena’ina Audio Collection (DAC) a database file on Dena’ina audio recordings. Introduction by James Kari, Dec. 2005 This bibliography was started by Greg Dixon in 1993 as a Special Topics course at UAF. The 1993 bibliography was very good for its coverage of geology, anthropology, archaeology, and natural history for Cook Inlet Basin. Several specialists on Dena’ina and Cook Inlet considered Dixon’s 1993 compilation to be a valuable document, and it was proposed in late 2004 that we bring the bibliography up to date and then to circulate it in digital form. We are continuing to find many sources that contribute to the Dena’ina and Cook Inlet literature. For this area there is a large “grey literature” of agency-sponsored reports, many privately published items, as well as newspaper articles Also this bibliography contributes to the concept of a Dena’ina Archive. It is salutary that the Ts’itsatna Tribal Archives of the Kenaitze Indian Tribe has taken the lead in distributing this 2005 bibliography. In this version many of Greg Dixon’s annotations have been shortened. Only some of the added entries have brief annotations. Introduction by R. Greg Dixon, Dec. 1993 Bibliography-Dena'ina is a listing of sources of information pertinent to Dena'ina Athabaskans, with many annotations. Topics include archaeology, ethnography, linguistics, language, and aspects of natural history pertaining to the region utilized by the Dena'ina. Because of many unknowns about the Dena’ina, such as when they first arrived in the Cook Inlet area, and because of their ethnohistorically documented practices of heavy trading and borrowing with other groups, and assumed incorporations of linguistic and other cultural elements from their neighbors, boundaries remain uncertain. Biological affiliations with other groups resulting from intermarriage practices are known, and their existence in areas previously occupied earlier groups such as the Kachemak Eskimo are also known. Therefore, references in this document may cover areas and time periods outside ethnographically given Dena’ina boundaries. Listings are drawn from published and unpublished material. The style and format used in this bibliography is that presented by the editors of American Antiquity (1983). Exceptions do exist, however, and although "Dena'ina" is the preferred orthography, "Tanaina" is consistently used whenever it occurs in the reference cited. Many annotations presented derive partially or wholly from Randall M. Jones and Monica Woods' Alaskan Athabaskan Bibliography, First Edition, November 1983. Wherever these occur, they are preceded by an "*". * are from Jones and Woods, 1983. Thanks are also due to the many authors whose works I have cited. And to James Kari (University of Alaska Fairbanks), William B. Workman, Karen W. Workman (University of Alaska Anchorage), James A. Fall (ADF&G, Division of Subsistence), and the late Randall Jones. And also to Douglas R. Reger, J. David McMahan, R. Joan Dale, Michele Jesperson, Tim Smith, Robert D. Shaw, and others at the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation, Office of History and Archaeology in Anchorage, all of whom freely opened their files for me to peruse for data and/or supplied other information verbally that is included in this document. Since 2005 we have a joint effort to expand our bibliography. R. Greg Dixon Cultural Resources Program National Park Service 2 3 Abbott, Susan M.
