1964 Map of Nunivak Island

About this map

Nunivak Island is depicted here as a landscape of isolated seasonal settlements and sprawling coastal habitats within the Nunivak National Wildlife Refuge. While Mekoryuk serves as the primary village on the northern coast, the map documents numerous Indigenous camp sites along the shoreline, such as Kikmiktalikamiut, Ahmikdoligamiut, and Nooraovlaksmiut. These labels reflect the traditional subsistence patterns of the Nuniwarmiut people, who utilized specific coastal locations for hunting and fishing.
