History of Epizetka River

Eskimo name reported by Collier (in Brooks and others, 1905, p. 177), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and probably represents the word sometimes written "qipigsatqaq" meaning "it twists" or "crooked." Collier probably obtained the name from a manuscript map (so-called Cullinghow's map of Cape Lisburne) drawn by an Eskimo about 1890. This map shows "Epizetko-crooked."
