History of Kuskovak

Eskimo village reported by E. W. Nelson, U.S. Signal Service, who passed near it in January 1879; he spelled the name "Kuskovakh." Its population in 1880 was 24. This may be the same place listed as "Kuskohkagamiut" in the 11th Census in 1890 with 115 people, but because of another village with a similar name on the left bank of the river, it is difficult to determine which place is meant.
