Does anyone know the name of the 5 yupik indians that Captain Nelson met when he went to Nelson Island? I am doing family genealogy and there are relatives that I am looking for that were born on Nelson Island. Last name is spelled in different ways, they are Gosatuk, Gusatuk, and Kusakook. Does anyone recognize those names?

We don't consider ourselves "Indians", but Yup'ik. The name does sound familiar though. I know there are Kashatok's in Kipnuk, Alaska. Probably pronounced the same way that you would say it.
