Kaisun {QaV.vin). A former Haida 

 town on the n. w. coast of Moresby id.. 

 Queen Charlotte group, Brit. Col. It 

 belonged to the Kaiahl-lanas, Avho set- 

 tled there after moving from Skidegate 

 inlet, but before that time the Kas-lanas 

 are said to have occupied it. By the 

 whites Kaisun was sometimes called Gold 

 Harbor, or, to distinguish it from the town 

 afterward built on Maude id. by the 

 west-coast people, Old Gold Harbor; but 

 this term is properly applicable to Skai- 

 to, acamponGold Harbor, itself occupied 

 by Haida from all parts of the Queen 

 Charlotte ids. during the time of the 

 gold excitement. Kaisun is the Kish-a- 

 win of John Work's list, which was ac- 

 credited by him with 18 houses and 329 

 people in 1836-41. Since the old people 

 can still remember 17 houses, Work's 

 figures would appear to be trustworthy. 

 The few survivors of Kaisun now live at 

 Skidegate. (,j. r. s. )

Kaiyuhkhotana. The westernmost Ath- 

 apascan tribe of Alaska, living on the 

 banks of Yukon r. between Anvik and 

 Koyukuk rs. They have been supplant- 

 ed in the w. part of their old habitat by 

 Eskimo. Since hostilities between them 

 and the Eskimo have ceased they have 

 become assimilated with the latter, adopt- 

 ing a fish diet and differing from all their 

 congeners in acquiring a liking for oil. 

 The tribe is distinguished from its neigh- 

 bors also by its language, they being un- 

 able to converse with the Kutchin. The 

 southernmost settlements subsist princi- 

 pally by fishing and trading. They dry 

 fish and are very expert in making wood- 

 en ware and strong birch canoes. Those 

 of upper Yukon, Shageluk, and Kusko- 

 kwim rs. combine hunting with these pur- 

 suits. The Kaiyuhkhotana build perma- 

 nent villages which they sometimes leave 

 during the summer. The pointed hunt- 

 ing shirts formerly worn have been largely 

 replaced by the clothing of the whites. 

 They do not appear to have adopted a to- 

 temic system, and follow the Eskimo cus- 

 tom of giving elaborate feasts. Zagoskin 

 in 1844 estimated their population at 923. 

 Petroff (10th Census, Alaska, 1884) gave 

 their number as 805 on the Yukon and 148 

 on the Kuskokwim. Allen (Rejiort on 

 Alaska, 1 887 ) gave the population as about 

 1,300. The nth Census (158, 1893) gives 

 the population of the Yukon district as 

 753 and of the Kuskokwim as 386; total, 

 1, 139. The following are Kaiyuhkhotana 

 villages, exclusive of those of the Jugel- 

 nute division: Anvik, Chagvagchat, Chi- 

 nik, Iktigalik, Innoka, Ivan, Kagokakat, 

 Kaiakak, Kaltag, Khaigamute, Kho- 

 goltlinde, Khulikakat, Khunanilinde, 

 Klamaskwaltin, Koserefski, Kunkhogli- 

 ak, Kutul, Lofka, Nulato, Nunakhtaga- 

 mut, Paltchikatno, Taguta, Tanakot, Te- 

 rentief , Tigshelde, Tutago, Ulukakhotana, 

 and Wolasatux. The local divisions were 

 Ingalik, Inkalich, Jugelnute, Kaiyuhkho- 

 tana, Nulato, Takaiak, Tlegonkhotana, 

 Taiyanyanokhotana, and Ulukakhotana.
