History

An Eskimo village visted by Lieutenant Stoney (1900, p. 39), U.S. Navy (USN), in December 1885 and reported as "Issheyuk, a village of fifteen huts, situated near the northern limit of the mountain range," Irving (1954, p. 204) mentions an area on the Nigu River presently called "Issygok," a name comparable to Stoney's "Issheyuk." See Issygok Lake.
