Alakanuk, a remote Native American village in Alaska
Located in the Yukon-Koyukuk census area of the U.S. state of Alaska, in the lower Yukon River delta, about 15 miles (24 km) from the mouth of the Yukon River, Alakanak is one of the remotest villages in Alaska, with no highway connections, and transportation relying on summer boating, winter snowmobiles, or small airplanes. With a population of about 600 (2020 data), the village is predominantly Yup'ik Native American (Yup'ik) and retains a deep traditional fishing and hunting culture, with an economy based on salmon fishing, hunting (e.g., caribou, beaver), and subsistence agriculture. The climate is subfreezing, with long, bitterly cold winters (average temperature -20°C) and short, cool summers (average temperature 10°C), high annual precipitation, extensive wetlands, and important wildlife habitat in the surrounding area. Village facilities include a school, clinic, and Native cultural center, and traditional festivals such as the Yup'ik Dance attract the surrounding community and provide a window into Alaska Native life.
