History

Named by Thomas Simpson (1843, p. 150) August 3, 1837, for Chief Factor Christie of the Hudson's Bay Company, "a warm personal friend, and also a zealous promoter of the interests of the expedition." The Eskimo name Tool=a=via, is shown by Maguire (Great Britain, 1854, map facing p. 186) and may mean (Tulavik) "place for coming ashore."
