What is Karana's father's name?

In this book, Karana's father is the chief of the
island.

At the beginning of the book, the Aleuts and their
Russian captain come to hunt for sea otters on the island.  When they get there, they
come on shore and talk to Karana's father about what they will pay for the otters and
other such "business" matters.

When the Russian captain
identifies himself, Karana's father answers by giving his name.  He says his name is
Chief Chowig.

Karana is shocked because that is her
father's secret name and he has told it to a stranger.
