Digenegh

Digenegh is a Deg Xinag name associated with the Kuskokwim River and the country of its upper reaches. The river begins in the mountains of interior Alaska and flows southwest toward the Bering Sea, widening as it crosses the lowlands. Its banks and tributaries have long been home to Indigenous communities, including Upper Kuskokwim and Deg Hit’an peoples. Salmon, other fish and game supported seasonal movements through the river basin, while the river itself provided a route between settlements in summer and across its frozen surface in winter.
