Kijik Village Details
Though historical texts mention a Kijik (the English spelling of Qizjeh, which means "where people gather" in Dena'ina) village as early as 1818, it is believed that the first residents may have moved to the area decades earlier. Around 1889, a Russian Orthodox church was built in the village, but diseases introduced by outsiders between 1902 and 1909 drove families to communities elsewhere. The village was completely abandoned by 1909. The village is a part of the Kijik National Historic Landmark, which is comprised of more than a dozen archeological sites.
