9. _Akhiok._--Native village on the northern shore of Alitak Bay,
Kodiak. Native name from Petrof, 1880. Apparently identical with
Oohaiack of Lisianski in 1805. (G. D. A.) An occupied native village
consisting of about a couple of dozen houses. This or possibly other
villages in the vicinity have undoubtedly been occupied for a long
time. It is possible that there was a native settlement at Lazy Bay
near this point, for Lazy Bay was formerly a native headquarters for
sea otter hunting. (E. P. W.)
10. _Karluk._--Village at mouth of Karluk River, Kodiak. Native name
from the Russians. (G. D. A.)
11. _Uyak._--Bay indenting the northwestern coast of Kodiak; also a
village. Native name from the Russians. Lisianski, 1805, spells it
Oohiack and the village Ooiatsk. Petrof, 1880, writes it Ooiak. Has
also been written Uiak. (G. D. A.)
12. _Larsen Bay._--A cannery has been located at this point for a
number of years, and there is an old native trail from Larsen Bay to
Karluk River, so presumably natives have frequented this section and
no doubt have at some time had settlements there. Definite information
regarding this is not available. (E. P. W.)
13. _Uganik._--Native village at head of Uganik Bay. Shown by
Lisianski, 1805, who spells it Oohanick. (G. D. A.) An occupied native
village and one which has apparently been in use for a considerable
period. (E. P. W.)
