Arctic Village, AK

Located about 100 miles north of Fort Yukon along the Chandalar River, Arctic Village is a remote Neets'aii Gwich'in community nestled near the Brooks Range. Life here moves at a quiet, traditional pace, with locals relying heavily on seasonal hunting for moose and the migrating Porcupine caribou herd, alongside river fishing. It is an off-grid, fly-in settlement where daily life centers around family, subsistence traditions, and the local school.
