According
to the Dictionary of Alaska Place Names,
the Russian explorer Stephen Glotov was
the first non-Native to land on Kodiak,
in 1763. He reported the inhabitants of
the island called their home Kadyak or
Kikhtak, which simply meant island. This
is substantiated by A Conversational
Dictionary of Kodiak Alutiiq, which
records the Alutiiq word for island as
qikertaq -- a very similar sounding word
to Kikhtak.
___________________
"When
most people think of Alaska, they imagine
it to be a frozen wilderness, locked in
snow and ice ten months of the year.
Although Alaska does have its cold spots,
Kodiak Island lies on the southern coast
of Alaska and has a very moderate climate.
The
Kodiak Island Archipelago also has a very
unique geography. With green, snow-tipped
mountains plunging into deep, tree-lined
fjords, it reminds some people of Norway
or Ireland. That's why we call it
Alaska's Emerald Isle.
Kodiak
Island has a rich historical and cultural
heritage. The Alutiiq people have
inhabited Kodiak Island for more than 7,500
years. To find out more about the area's
Alutiiq culture, visit our Cultural
Heritage page."
