DescriptionKegitowruk in the Fall Dall.JPG	English: Kegitowruk, village in Alaska, eastern coast of Norton Sound near Tolstoi point Dall's description: "The annexed sketch of the village was taken on the spot. On the right is the casine [community house]. There are several ordinary winter houses, which are on the brow of a high bank. Caches are scattered about, and stages, on which the kyaks are elevated out of reach of the dogs. In the engraving, the kyaks are represented too much curved upwards, fore and aft. They are nearly straight, except at the bow. At the left of the houses is a mass of perpendicular timbers, projecting from the ground. This was the dwelling of an old couple, who died in the summer while the other inhabitants were away. Returning from the chase, rather than touch the bodies, they broke down the house over them, and filled it in with earth; a few projecting uprights are their only monument. There is no beach, the cove is shallow and full of rocks, and the skin-boats must be hauled up on ways built for the purpose, of logs."
