Taatiilaaq

Taatiilaaq, “windy place”, is Alutiiq country on the northeastern shore of Prince William Sound. Steep mountains overlook channels and islands where Chugach families travelled by boat to fishing and hunting places. Village sites along the shore offered access to the water and a view of approaching visitors. After Russian traders established a station at Nuchek to the south, sea otter skins became part of a trade that drew hunters from across the sound.
