Knik (Eskimo: 'fire,' a name given by the Eskimo of Kodiak because, having no seaworthy boats of their own, they signaled for other tribes across the bay to send aid). A Knaiakhotana settlement of several villages on Knik r., at the head of Cook inlet, Alaska. The chief village had 46 people in 1880 (Petroff, 10th Cen- sus, Alaska, 29, 1884); in 1900 the pop- ulation was 160 in 31 houses. This l)ranch of the tribe numbers altogether Ijetween 200 and 300, who obtain their subsistence by hunting and trapping and by barter- ing with the Ahtena, who bring fur skins over the divide between Knik and C^)pper rs. every winter and stay weeks or months with the Knik, who through this trade obtain the clothing, utensils, and even luxuries of the Avhites. Their houses are built above ground of logs tightly calked with moss and covered with bark (11th Census, Alaska, 70, 1893). They use the birch-bark canoe on the inland rivers, but purchase skin bidarkas of the Kenai oi- Nikishka people to fish and travel along the coast. Kinik.—Petroff in 10th Census, Alaska, map, 1884.
