Welcome to Kokhanok

This fishing village was first listed in the U.S. Census in 1890 by A.B. Schanz. The community was relocated to higher ground a few years ago when the rising level of Iliamna Lake threatened several community buildings.

The village has a mixed Alaska Native population, primarily Alutiiq and Yup'ik. Subsistence activities are the focal point of the culture and lifestyle.
