Akiachak; Eskimo village, on right bank of the Knskokwim about 15 miles above 

 Bethel. Its Eskimo name, as obtained by Spurr and Post from missionary

 Bethel. Petrof, 1880, wrote its name Ackiagmute, i. e., Akiak people.

 sionary J. H. Kilbuck, in 1898, is Aklukwilgamut, from Ak-klut, ammunl 

 Hon, 2>ro?'?.?ions, belongings. This place is almost certainly identical with

 not mention it. Akmute means Ak people. 



Akoi; glacial stream, in the St. Elias Alps, debouching through the same mouth 

 with the Akwi, between the Alsek delta and Yakutat bay. Name pub- 

 lished by Tebenkof in 1849. Apparently Akoi and Akwi are variant 

 forms of a native word, Ak. Tebenkof shows two native settlements 

 here, the one nearest Yakutat bay being called Akoi blizhn. (Near 

 Akoi), the other Akoi daln. (Far Akoi). In Materials for the History 

 of the Russian American Company (IV, p. 51) we find "Akoi, a place 

 ^bout 40 miles from Yakutat, visited by Kuskof in 1802."
