Manokotak is a small Native American village in the Bristol Bay region of the U.S. state of Alaska, located in southwestern Alaska, inland from the northeastern shore of Bristol Bay, about 580 miles (air miles) from the state capital of Anchorage. The community is centered on the Yup'ik Native culture, has a population of about 400, and lives at a pace that is closely dependent on the natural environment, with an economy based on traditional fisheries (e.g., salmon fishing) and subsistence, and with residents retaining their traditional skills of fishing, hunting, and gathering. Transportation is dependent on snow and ice roads in the winter, while in the summer, connections to the outside world are primarily by small airplanes or boats. Although small in size, Manokotak is a unique example of an Alaska Native community living in harmony with nature.
