  • Mapping Traditional Place Names Along the Koyukuk River—Koyukuk
    Mapping Traditional Place Names along the Koyukuk River— Koyukuk, Huslia, and Hughes, Western Interior Alaska Introduction Koyukon Athabascan peoples have settled along the Koyukuk River in Western Interior Alaska for thousands of years using the surrounding landscape for subsistence and cultural resources. However, recent changes in climate, technology, resource availability, and way of life have affected land-use patterns in the region, as well as use of the Denaakk'e (Koyukon) language. The current Koyukon population is about 2,300, and about 150 still speak the language (the youngest of whom are in their fifties). In addition, Elders, important keepers of both language and traditional subsistence-use areas, are aging, and opportunities to record their knowledge are diminishing. “If place names are left undocumented then the owners and history of those places remain invisible. Place names provide clear evidence of land use and demonstrate Native presence in an area” Study area map representing the 366 spatially verified place names along the Koyukuk River from Koyukuk to Hughes. Gary Holton, Director of the Alaska Native Language Archive, Alaska Native Language Center Project Goals The goals of the place names project are to collect, preserve, cultivate, and pass on the rich knowledge and culture of the Koyukon people with regards to traditional place names and subsistence-use areas along the Koyukuk River in the villages of Koyukuk, Huslia, and Hughes. Place names provide important information regarding navigation, resource availability, cultural history, land ownership, and changes in land use. Archiving information of this nature assists in passing local and traditional knowledge to subsequent generations.

  • Historic Land Use Processes in Alaska's Koyukuk River Area
    ARCTIC VOL. 42. NO. 2 (JUNE 1989) P. 148-162 Historic Land Use Processes in Alaska’s Koyukuk River Area WENDY H. ARUNDALE‘ and ELIZA JONES’ (Received 9 February 1988; accepted in revised form 21 September 1988) ABSTRACT. Northern Athabaskans with extensive knowledge of their traditional history and culture are increasingly interested in preserving their heritage. The authors areworking with Allakaket area Koyukon people in Alaska to record data on importanthistoric sites and events, but they are also using ethnoarchaeological approaches, particularly Binford’s models of settlement systems and site mobility, to help make the information they gather more valuable to both local Native people and archaeologists. Drawing on their preliminary data, as well as existing research, they describe changes in the late winter part of the seasonal round, showing how, over time, the Koyukon become more logistically organized as they become more sedentary. These changes have interesting archaeological implications, including effects on site mobility patterns. The Koyukon belief system, withan intricate set of traditional beliefs and practices, has significant, though largely unexplored potential for influencing archaeological variability. Key words: Alaska, Athabaskans, archaeology, belief systems, boreal forest, ethnoarchaeology, historic archaeology, historic sites, Koyukon, Koyukuk River, landscape use, settlement patterns, Subarctic RÉSUMÉ. Les Athabaskans du Nord qui possèdent une connaissance approfondie de leur histoire et de leur culture traditionnelles, sont de plus en plus intéressés à préserver leur patrimoine. Les auteurs travaillent actuellement avec des gens de la tribu Koyukon de la région d’Allakaket en Alaska, à consigner des données sur d’importants sites et événements historiques, mais ils utilisent aussi des approches ethnoarchéologiques, en particulier les modèles de Binford se rapportant aux systèmes de peuplement et de migration d’un site à l’autre, pour rendre l’information recueille plus utile, àla fois à la population autochtoneet aux archéologues.

  • Abundance and Run Timing of Adult Salmon in Three Tributaries of the Koyukuk River, Alaska, 2002
    Alaska Fisheries Data Series Number 2003-7, August 2005 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Abundance and Run Timing of Adult Salmon in Three Tributaries of the Koyukuk River, Alaska, 2002 Gareth K. VanHatten Abstract During 2002, resistance board weirs were used to record escapement information from Chinook Oncorhynchus tshawytscha and summer chum O. keta salmon in three tributaries within the Koyukuk River drainage, Alaska: Gisasa River; Kateel River; and Henshaw Creek. Annual escapement counts were 2,025 Chinook and 33,481 chum salmon for Gisasa River, 73 Chinook and 2,853 chum salmon for Kateel River, and 649 Chinook and 25,249 chum salmon for Henshaw Creek. Additional biological information was collected on age, sex, and length of each spawning population. Passage information was also recorded for longnose sucker Catostomus catostomus, northern pike Esox lucius, Arctic grayling Thymallus arcticus, and whitefish (Coregoninae). Chinook and summer chum salmon escapement counts from these three tributaries assist fisheries managers in making in-season decisions during the Yukon River commercial and subsistence fishing season, provide post-season evaluation of various management practices, and assist in developing future run projections. Due to the complexity of the mixed- stock Yukon River fishery and the difficulty in managing specific stocks, it is essential to continue collecting information from individual salmon populations, including stocks from the Koyukuk River drainage. It is recommended that the Gisasa River (lower Koyukuk River) and Henshaw Creek projects (upper Koyukuk River) be continued for the long term, so population trends can be analyzed over an extended time-series. Tributary streams containing small salmon stocks, like the Kateel River, should be monitored on a periodic basis.
