Doak Island is an island located within Coronation Gulf, south of Victoria Island, in the Kitikmeot Region, Nunavut, Canada. It is approximately 4m (13feet) above sea level.[1]
It was named after Corporal William Andrew Doak, a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.[2] Doak was killed by his Inuit prisoner, Alikomiak, in 1922 at Kugluktuk.[3] Alikomiak and his fellow prisoner Tatimagana were the first Inuit to be executed for murder under Canadian law.[4]
Other islands in the vicinity include Bate Island, Murray Island, Edinburgh Island, and Takhoalok Island, as well as the Sesqui Islands.[5]
