Deg Hit’an (also Deg Xit’an, Deg Hitan, Degexit’an, Kaiyuhkhotana) is a group of Northern Athabascan peoples in Alaska. Their native language is called Deg Xinag. They reside in Alaska along the Anvik River in Anvik, along the Innoko River in Shageluk, and at Holy Cross along the lower Yukon River. The older name Ingalik and its derivatives are offensive to the Deg Hit’an.
The Deg Hit’an are members of the federally recognized Alaska Native tribes of Anvik Village, Shageluk Native Village, and Holy Cross Village.
