Tuluksak, AK

Tuluksak is a small Yup’ik village in western Alaska, sitting along the Tuluksak River just off the Kuskokwim. Home to roughly 450 residents, it is a remote community without road access, so getting around means taking small planes, hopping in a boat during the summer, or riding snowmachines and ATVs in the winter. Life here stays closely tied to the water, with salmon fishing, seasonal hunting, and subsistence traditions shaping everyday routines.
