use among themselves, which generally meant the people of this or 

 that locality. The facts are that they all belonged to the Tinne or 

 Dene family ; 20, 21 that there were two probably related generic names 

 for them, namely Kutchin (used especially on the upper Yukon) and 

 Khotana (used mainly along the central and lower parts of the 

 stream) ; and that along the Yukon itself, with its channels, there 

 were three main subdivisons of the people: The Kutchin (with va- 

 rious qualifications) on the upper parts of the river, down to Fort 

 Yukon; the Yukonikhotana, from Fort Yukon to Nulato; — and the 

 Kain (Petrof) or Kaiyuh (Dall) Khotana, or Inkaliks (of the 

 Russians), from Nulato to Holy Cross. 



In addition there were the Tenan-kutchin Tenan-khotana or 

 Mountainmen of the Tanana ; and the Yunnaka-khotana (Zagoskin) 

 or Koyukuk-khotana (Dall). the people of the Koyukuk. 



These groups were settled in a moderate number of permanent or 

 winter villages along the rivers, in the summer spreading along the 

 streams in camps. The population found by the first Russian ex- 

 plorer, Glazunof, from Anvik to Aninulykhtykh-pak, was seemingly 

 a rather large one. He is reported by Wrangell to have counted, at 

 Anvik, 240 grown males; at Magimiut, 35; and at Aninulykhtykh- 

 pak 300. At the last-named village in particular there were present 

 " many people," Glazunof estimating altogether nearly 700. These 

 figures, except for Magimiut, seem too large and were not even ap- 

 proached later ; but before the next count, that by Zagoskin, all these 

 settlements had been visited by smallpox; and at the big village 

 GlazunofT may have seen a potlatch. such as may still yearly be 

 witnessed at some settlements on the river. 



Zagoskin in 1843 made a detailed and evidently reliable count of 

 all the villages that became known to him. His data in this respect, 

 as in others, being of fundamental value, are here given, the Eskimo, 

 for convenience, being included.

 of the mainland of our colonies and known to us under various names — Yug-elnut, Tutna, 

 Golcan? or Kilcane I according to the pronunciation of those giving the information], 

 Kenaici, Inkaliti, Inkalich-liuatov [distant Inkaliks], and others — names given to them 

 by the neighboring coastal people."

 kutchin of Dall, inhabits the banks of the Yukon River from Fort Yukon westward to 

 Nulato."
