[Facts] kee-AHN-ah is how I'd heard it pronounced, but

I came across an article stating it was kai-ANN-uh (as in Kiana, Alaska). According to that same article, Kiana means "a place where three rivers meet,” at least, it seems, for the Kobuk River Kowagmiut Inupiat Eskimos (see link below).

Hope this helps.
