History
Recorded by Orth in 1956 as "Dalbatna" from a Koyukuk Indian name meaning "river of young geese." Originally published by Lieutenant H.T. Allen in 1885 (1887 Map), USA, as "Dulbikakat," meaning "mouth of the Dulbi." This name is shown as "Dulebekakat" by Lieutenant B. H. Camden, U.S. Revenue-Cutter Service (USRCS), in 1900 (Cantwell, 1904, p. 244).
