Ima-Ind.
Imagnee; Aleut village, in Summer bay, on eastern shore of Captains bay, Unalaska, eastern Aleutians. Sarichef shows a settlement here, in 1790, which he calls Sinagnia. Veniaminof, however, calls the village and bay Imagnin- skoe. Imagnee is the local and, presumably, the native name. Popula- tion in 1830 was 32.

Inaru; river, in northern Alaska, flowing northeasterly and supposed to debouch into Dease inlet. Crossed by Ray in March, 1883. The natives, he says in his text (p. 27), call it Ináru; on his map he calls it Kuahroo, and this name has been copied on Coast Survey and other charts.

Inglikhakh, island; see Karpa.
Inglutalik; river, tributary to the head of Norton bay, Norton sound. An Eskimo name. Tebenkof, 1849, ealls this river, or one which appears to be this one, Inaktuli. The Western Union Telegraph Expedition map of 1867 calls a native village on this stream, Ingletalik. For the rest there has been hopeless confusion, Ingluealik, Ingluealik, Inglaliktalik, etc.

Isanotski; strait, at the western end of Alaska peninsula, separating it from Unimak island. According to Veniaminof, the name is Issanakskie, a Russian adjective from the Aleut name isanak (hole, tear, rent). Lutke, 1836, says "not Issanotsky, as ordinarily called; the name of the strait is the same as that of the island Sannakh or Issannakh." On the early Russian charts it is Isanotskoi, Isanotzky, etc., and Lutke so uses it in 1828. It is usually called Isanotski and sometimes False Pass.

Izbavlenia, point; see Escape.
Izembek; bay, indenting the northern shore of Alaska peninsula, near its western end. Named by Lutke, after Surgeon Karl Izembek, a member of his party. Lutke spells the name Izenbek and Isenbeck. Grewingk follows the spelling Isenbeck. The official list of the officers of the Moller, Captain Staninkovich commanding, on which vessel this surgeon served, has Sur- geon Karl Izembek. That list, in the Journal of the Russian Hydro- graphic Office for 1850 ( Vol. VIII, p. 182), appears to have been carefully prepared and leads to the belief that the name should be written Izembek. Izhiga; cove, in Inanudak bay, on the northern shore of Umnak, eastern Aleutians. Native name from Veniaminof.
Izhut; bay, indenting the southeastern coast of Afognak island, Kodiak group. Apparently a native name; from Tebenkof, 1849.

Izhut; cape, forming the western head of Izhut bay, Afognak island, Kodiak group. So called by Tebenkof, who identifies it with Whitsuntide of Cook, in 1778, calling it Piati-desiat-nitzi (Pentecost or Whitsuntide). It is Cape Shariepof of Murashef, 1839-40. The Russian-American Company's map of 1849 applies the name Izhutskoi to the western head of a small bay farther east. Thus we have Ijoot, Ishoot, Indut, Izhutskoi, Pentecost, Piatidesiatnitzi, Shariepof, Shiripof, and Whitsuntide as names which have been applied to this cape.
Izh-Jam.

Sheldon Jack- son, in his, report for 1886 (p. 19), says: "On the 22d of August, 1881, I established a mission among them ( Haidas) at the village of Howcan, placing Mr. James E. Chapman in charge as a teacher. The station was called Jackson by the missionaries." A post-office called Jackson was established here in February, 1884.
