History of Kuna River

This Eskimo name was given by P. S. Smith and J. B. Mertie, Jr. (1930, map), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), because of the many geese seen here. It refers to the lesser snow goose, (Chen hyperborea hyperborea), which Gabrielson and Lincoln (1959, p. 137) list in Barrow Eskimo as "Ku-no."
