Kake (/ˈkeɪk/, like 'cake') is a first-class city in Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area, Alaska, United States.

[4] Kake is on the northwest coast of Kupreanof Island in the Alexander Archipelago in southeastern Alaska.

Kake first reported on the 1880 U.S. Census as the Tlingit village of Keex Kwaan[6] (not to be confused with the present Klukwan).

The Tlingit of the Kake region gained a reputation among early European and American explorers of being strong and powerful.

Mikhail Tikhanov, an artist with the expedition, painted a watercolor of the Tlingit chief Kotlean.

[11][12] On September 25th, 2024, the U.S. Navy formally apologized to the people of Kake for the destruction of the village.

[13] Kake is the site of a 128-foot totem pole, one of the world's largest, carved in 1967 for the Alaska Purchase centennial.

A first-class city,[14] Kake has a mayor-council form of government which is composed of a mayor and six council members.
