LOWER TANANA, NENANA TO YUKON
No old sites were learned of on this part of the river, and few, if any, are probably preserved, due to lowness of banks and extensive destruction (cutting of the banks) by the river.
The present Indian villages on the river are as follows:
1. Nenana (or Tortella), about a mission, half a mile from the railroad station and town of the same name, on the left bank of the Tanana and near the mouth of the Nenana River. (Fig. 1.)
2. "Old Minto," 27 miles from Nenana, right bank; but a small number of Indians there now.
3. Village at the mouth of the Tolovana, right bank (where the Tolovana enters the Tanana); the village is on the distal (downstream) point. Nearly abandoned; only two families there now. Summer (fishing) camp on the opposite point.
4. A small settlement at mouth of Baker Creek, right bank, about 4 miles upstream from Hot Springs.
5. "Crossjacket village," on left bank, about 45 miles above Tanana, 40 miles below Hot Springs. Used to be called "Cosna." Occupied, though only a few there.
6. Near 5, but on the opposite bank, a few habitations.
During the open season the Indians live scattered along the river in fishing camps. This is especially true along the right bank downstream from Nenana.
