History
Probably named for an Eskimo girl of the Wiseman area. Marshall (1956, p. 83), in describing a Fourth of July celebration in Wiseman, wrote, "The big feature * * * was dancing. We started at six-thirty on the evening of July 4, and at eleven next morning four Eskimo girls, Kaaruk, Ashuwaruk, Kayak, and Kachwona, were still going strong * * *."
