Holikachuk (alsoInnoko,Organized Village of Grayling,Innoka-khotana,Tlëgon-khotana) are aYupikizedAlaska NativeAthabaskan people of theAthabaskan-speaking ethnolinguistic group to westernAlaska. Their native territory includes the area surrounding the middle and upperInnoko River. Later in 1963 they moved toGrayling on theYukon River.
The Holikachuk call themselvesDoogh Hit’an (IPA:[toʁhətʼan]). The nameHolikachuk is derived from the name (in theHolikachuk language) of a village in nativeHolikachuk territory.
The Holikachuk have been neglected by anthropologists, resulting in little documentation (both published and unpublished). In the past they have erroneously (or out of convenience) been grouped with theKoyukon.
The peoples neighboring the Holikachuk are in the north theYup'ik andKoyukon, in the east the Koyukon, in the south theUpper Kuskokwim people, and in the west theDeg Hit'an.
Holikachuk culture is a relative to theDeg Hit'an culture.
