Chenega Island is an island of Aleuts in Prince William Sound in the U.S. state of Alaska . It is the traditional home to the community of Chenega , though much of its population eventually migrated to Chenega Bay on nearby Evans Island after the 1964 Good Friday earthquake and accompanying tsunami . Chenega Island and its surrounding habitat were also heavily impacted by the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill . The island has a land area of 57.084 km ² ( 22.04 sq mi ) and , after the mass emigration , was unpopulated as of the 2000 census
