Coskaket was not a new village in 1915 as Ned implies. It was listed in the 1900 census as Evan's Village. In the 1910 census the village was holding a winter event with Natives coming from great distances to attend and they were noted in the census as 'visitors.' Several residents died in a flu epidemic at the Birch Cr and Muddy River (Kantishna draindage) intersection in the early 1920s.
