Who or what was the Katie B named for? An Indian in Alaska or a bay there? Harold Jacobs answered the question. He is a resource specialist for the Central Council Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska. Kadashan Bay is one mile across on the South Shore of Teankee Inlet on Chichagof Island, four miles south of Tenakee Springs, Alex. Arch. It was named in 1929 by the US Forestry Service for Paul K Kadashan, an Indian who applied for this land as a homestead in 1915. The totems are of a different Kadashan but probably a relative to Paul Kadashan. The local descriptive name for Kadashan Bay is BIG BAY. Paul Kadashan was from Haines, AK.. The answer is BOTH...I guess! Thanks Harold for the information!
