The project was also discussed with people in villages farther up the Koyukuk — Hughes, Allakaket, Alatna, and Bettles — and with the Eskimos of Anaktuvuk Pass. Another anthropologist would work there, while I would focus on Huslia and to some extent Hughes. The overall goal was to study all dimensions of land use by people from these communities—where it took place, what resources were harvested, how they were taken, how they were used, their economic importance, and the integration of subsistence into Koyukon intellectual culture.
