Su'naq

Sun’aq is the Alutiiq name associated with Kodiak, on the northeastern coast of Kodiak Island. Archaeological sites show that Alutiiq people lived in the area for millennia; the historic Native village of Tangirnaq lay on nearby Woody Island. The name Sun’aq was originally used for the Russian settlement at Three Saints Bay. It travelled to Kodiak when the Russian colonial capital was moved there, where the settlement became known as St. Paul’s Harbor.
