Ankachak; Eskimo village, on the right Ijank of the lower Yukon, about 20 miles 

 above Andreafski. Not given in the Tenth Census, 1880. In the Eleventh 

 Census called Ankahchagmiut (population 103). By Raymond, 1869, by 

 the Coast Survey, and l)y the Geological Survey called Ankachagamuk, an 

 obvious error for Ankachagamut, /. e., Ankachak people. Perhaps this 

 place is identical with Kenunimik of a recent Coast Survey chart.
