Swikshak

Swikshak Bay lies on the Katmai coast of the Alaska Peninsula, opening onto Shelikof Strait across from the Kodiak archipelago. The coast is cut by bays and streams and has a long record of human habitation. Farther southwest at Amalik Bay, archaeological sites preserve tools used for fishing, hunting and household work, bearing witness to communities that drew on fish, sea mammals, birds and shellfish along this shore.
