Makushin Bay Kayaking

Makushin Bay, a large inlet on the west side of Unalaska reaches deeply inland to nearly bisect the island. The inlet pre-historically contained many inhabited sites where evidence of indigenous residents and their subsistence fishing still remain today. Unangas living at Makushin village in the 1940s were evacuated to southeast Alaska during World War II military operations in the Aleutians. None were able to return.
