History of Cape Yakak

Aleut name published by the Russians as "M(ys) Yakhakh" or "Cape Yakhakh" (in Tebenkov, 1852, map p. 28). This point was reported by Father Ioann Veniaminov as "Yagak," which he translated as "firewood" or "driftwood." This word may come from the Aleut word "Yagaqadaq" which, according to R. H. Geoghegan, means "firwood" or "firgrove."
