Point Hope



Point Hope, officially known as Free Village of the Tikiġaġmiut is a village-state in the westernmost coast of the former North Slope Borough in Alaska, in the Lisburne Peninsula on the Chukchi Sea coast, laying just above the Arctic Circle. The village is remote and can only be accessed by outsiders via airplane, as it has no road or rail connections to the outside world.

Nearly everyone in the settlement is Tikiġaġmiut, a subdivision of the Iñupiat people. The only territory it holds is the village itself.

The village was not much affected by The Disaster, excluding the side effects of a small amount of radiation poisoning coming from the Kamchatkan Peninsula. Early on, it established relations with the North Slope Confederation and even considered joining, but since the Confederation had no interest in building any sort of connection from the village to the rest of the towns in the North Slope, it decided to remain independent but still maintain good relations with them. It has also recently communicated with the city of Kotzebue.
