Project Description:
Researcher Richard Caulfield, at the time of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, recorded speakers of Gwich'in Athabaskan naming different features of the geography around their home villages. Because the speakers are from relatively close villages and speak the same dialect, we see overlap in placename use. Consultants include Isaac Tritt, James and Maggie Gilbert, Trimble Gilbert, Kias Peter, and Lincoln Tritt (Arctic Village, 226 place names); Hamel Frank, Dan Frank, Sarah Frank, Abraham Christian, Maggie Roberts (Venetie, 209 place names); Samson Peter Sr., Elliot Johnson Sr., Abel Tritt, and Simon Peter (Ft. Yukon, 80 place names); David and Sarah Salmon, Simon and Bella Francis, Sam and Lilly Herbert, and Steven Henry (Chalkytsik, 235 place names, some transcribed by Minnie Salmon); and David James, Neil James, and Winston James (Birch Creek, 52 place names).
