Usage examples of "chenega".
On Chenega, they were preparing to spend another summer scrubbing rocks.
At the village of Chenega, Chugach seal hunter Nikolas Kompkoff ran his four daughters out of their stilt house, already twisted to sticks by the earthquake, and raced up an ice-covered slope.
Over the years, as the prospect of a New Chenega receded into improbability, Nikolas became, in turn, an Orthodox priest, a notorious alcoholic and failed suicide.
In June of that year, Chief Vincent’s father Sarjius representing Nanwalek and Father Nikolas representing the nonexistent Chenega agreed to sell Valdez to British Petroleum and Humble Oil (later called “Exxon”)—for one dollar.
The villages became Chenega Corporation and English Bay (Nanwalek) Corporation.
