‘Nazi' Creek in this US state is getting a new name after 70 years — here's why
A one-mile stream in Alaska dubbed 'Nazi Creek' after it was reclaimed from the Axis Powers during World War II has finally been renamed after more than seven decades of debate. Kiska Island and Little Kiska at the far western end of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska were taken over by the Japanese military in June 1942, mere months after the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor 1,000 miles away. 4 Nazi Creek was originally named by US soldiers while using an alphanumeric grid system for their maps. Bettmann Archive Advertisement The occupation lasted a year. But it wasn't the Japanese who gave the creek its hotly contested name. Instead, American soldiers dubbed the stream 'Nazi Creek.' The title was 'arbitrarily applied to features' around the area by the US Army Air Forces for tactical reasons during the war, according to the Dictionary of Alaska Place Names. Even after World War II ended, the name remained at a federal level and was placed on an Army map in 1953 before Alaska joined the US six years later. Advertisement 4 Nazi Creek is about one mile long. Alaska's News Source At the time, the military used an alphanumeric grid system on its maps. The mile-long stream fell into the 'N' grid, and so Nazi Creek was born. Other natural features nearby were named under the same system, including places Moron Lake, Rat Lake, Jeff Cove, Robert Ridge and Magic Mountain, according to the Alaska Guide Company. Advertisement Some other spots like Auburn and Brunette Cove were also named by soldiers who just liked the titles because of the association with classic 'pin-up' girls, according to the website. 4 Soldiers named other nearby natural features including Moron Lake and Magic Mountain. Getty Images Renaming Nazi Creek was a two-year-long endeavor spearheaded by Alaska historian and map enthusiast Michael Livingston. The historian sought to establish new titles to reflect the Indigenous Aleutian Unangax̂ who originally resided in the area, he told KUCB last year. The proposed name was workshopped over time, but it stayed centered around 'Kangchix̂,' the island's Unangax̂ name, which translates to 'gizzard' in English. Advertisement Finally, the creek's name will be changed to 'Kaxchim Chiĝanaa,' which translates to 'creek or river belonging to gizzard island.' Livingston also lumped in a campaign to rename nearby 'Nip Hill' — an ethnic slur against Japanese people. Like the creek, its name was changed to 'Kaxchim Qayaa,' or 'gizzard hill.' 'It wasn't appropriate in the 1940s, and it's certainly still not appropriate in the 2020s,' he told the outlet. During the spring, the Alaska Historical Commission voted unanimously to change the names, which gave the effort more momentum. The US Board on Geographic Names has since approved the name changes, making way for the federal government to remove Nazi Creek and Nip Hill from databases, according to the New York Times. 4 The new names were inspired by the Aleutian name for the island, 'Kangchix̂.' Getty Images The roughly 880 Unangax̂ residents who lived on the island when it was raided by the Japanese were evacuated and placed into internment camps by the United States. Advertisement Roughly 80 died of disease while festering in the miserable conditions, according to 'Unangax̂: Coastal People of Far Southwestern Alaska,' a paper by Douglas Veltre, an emeritus professor of anthropology at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Tens of thousands of people of Japanese descent, including US citizens, were also placed in similar internment camps after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Congress voted in favor of paying reparations to both groups in 1988, specifically for the harm they suffered while imprisoned.

Archaeologists Discover Rare Skeleton of Medieval Knight Under Old Ice Cream Parlor
The Teutonic Knights were a German religious order of crusaders who operated in eastern Europe in the 1000s. Similar to the Knights Templar, the Teutonic Knights received land grants and privileges from the Pope; they wore a "white habit with a black cross," according to Britannica. They built a brick castle in Gdansk, Poland, in the 1300s. Now, a large skeleton unearthed by archaeologists under an old ice cream parlor site in the city of Gdansk is shedding new light on this mysterious order. According to Notes From Poland, the "limestone tombstone bearing the image of a knight with chainmail, a shield and a sword" was discovered in June at a site where archaeologists previously found the "remains of the oldest-known wooden church in Poland." "What we are digging up here is crazy," Sylwia Kurzyńska told PAP, according to Nauka W Polsce. "On the limestone plate there is a knight's silhouette. He has a chainmail, a sword on his right arm and a shield. In addition, a fragment of the collicular shoe, and a fragment of the spinal legs were preserved." Pomorski Wojewodzki, the regional conservator of monuments, shared a photo of the skeleton on Facebook on July 9, announcing the discovery. "We have him!" he wrote. "Who? A knight! About 30 centimeters beneath the stones on which the tombstone rested, rested not a knight, but a real knight 💪, as he was about 180 cm tall, according to very preliminary estimates. So he was a 'hefty fellow' for his time (the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries) 🦸." That's roughly 5 foot 10 inches tall. "We're writing, of course, about the archaeological site at the intersection of Sukiennicza and Grodzka Streets in Gdańsk, where the famous, now defunct 'Miś' ice cream parlor was located," he wrote. "This part of Gdańsk is becoming even more famous, and we congratulate Sylwia Kurzyńska and Monika Kasprzak and the entire ArcheoScan Archaeological and Conservation Workshop team 💐" Before the skeleton was unearthed, he wrote, of the tombstone, "Made of limestone, a plate with the image of a knight, it is so far the most medieval archaeological find of this season. And not the only one in this place. On the plot where excavations are ongoing, archaeologists discovered relics of a wooden church from the 12th century. This is the oldest temple in Gdansk. There are also relics of urban development on the same plot."Archaeologists Discover Rare Skeleton of Medieval Knight Under Old Ice Cream Parlor first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 14, 2025
