King Island is 2 miles across and located in the Bering Sea, 43 miles south of Cape Prince of Wales. Ukivok was the native name for the island. The island was named in 1778 by British explorer Capt. James Cook for James King, a member of his party. It's unclear how long the Inupiat Indians lived there. In the early 20th century, about 200 people dwelled in walrus-skin homes attached to the face of the cliffs. They hunted walrus, seal and seabirds and collected berries and plants. Every summer, they traveled by kayak and skin boat to the mainland 40 miles to the east and camped near Nome, where they sold ivory carvings.
