Ninilchik is on the west side of the Kenai Peninsula on the coast of Cook Inlet, southwest of Kenai, and southwest of Anchorage.

Before the arrival of Europeans in Alaska, Ninilchik was a Dena ' ina Athabaskan lodging area used for hunting and fishing.

Their dialect of Russian ( plus a few words borrowed from Alaska Native languages ) was the primary language spoken in Ninilchik long past the purchase of Russia's interests in Alaska by the U. S. in 1867.

All nine founding families of Ninilchik are descendants of the Kvasnikoffs and Alaska Natives.

The Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act recognized Ninilchik as an Alaska Native village, which led to the formation of the Ninilchik Native Association Incorporated and eventually to the further recognition, by the US Congress, that Ninilchik's descendants comprised a quasi-sovereign government ( equivalent to American Indian tribes ), thereby establishing the Ninilchik Traditional Council ( NTC ) as the governing body for Natives who live in the area surrounding Ninilchik or who descended from the original inhabitants.
