History of Hodzana River

Indian name meaning male beaver published on Edwards Track Chart of the Yukon, 1899, as He Beaver (Hosiana). The name was also applied to what is now called Hodzana Slough. The present spelling was recommended to Board on Geographic Names (BGN) by Archdeacon Hudson Stuck in 1907, as best representing local pronunciation.
