About Anaktuvuk Pass

Anaktuvuk Pass rests at an elevation of 2,200 feet on the divide between the Anaktuvuk and John Rivers in the central Brooks Range and is the last remaining settlement of the inland northern Inupiat Eskimo. Anaktuvuk is an Anglicized rendering of the Inupiat word for "place of caribou droppings," and the village and the Anaktuvuk River are so called because this is a place where huge caribou migrations used to take place.
