Kugirukuk

On the southern Seward Peninsula, Golovnin Bay opens into Norton Sound below the Fish River country. Inland families spent winters along the Fish and Kuzitrin drainages, where caribou could be hunted, and travelled towards Golovnin Bay in spring and summer for sea mammals, fishing and trade. The coastal village of Chinik stood on the spit separating the bay from Golovnin Lagoon.
