Kiana Place Names Map

There are many layers to discovering and understanding Native place names and the land. The Katyaak, Inupiat Placenames in the Kiana Area map was prepared in 1994 by NANA Regional Corporation with funding provided by the National Park Service and NANA. There are also recordings of some of the discussions that took place in order to put the place names on the map. We hope to be able to eventually attach some of the discussion to places on these maps. Read more about the map and view sections of it.
