Galyax Coast

The Galyáx̱ coast stretches along the Gulf of Alaska west of Icy Bay, where rivers descend from the mountains and glaciers toward the sea. It is part of the homeland of the Galyáx̱ Ḵwáan, a Tlingit community whose name is associated with the Kaliakh River. The Galyáx̱ Kaagwaantaan clan claimed a coast extending toward Strawberry Point, while neighbouring peoples occupied lands farther west and around Yakutat Bay to the east.
