Anaktuvuk Pass

Anaktuvuk Pass, also known as Anaqtuuvak, is a village-state in the inner regions of the former North Slope Borough of Alaska, slightly north of the Brooks Range on the divide between the Anaktuvuk River and the John River. The only territory it has under its possession is the village itself and some surrounding areas along the Anaktuvuk River.

Anaqtuuvak is the last remaining settlement of the Nunamiut, a subdivision of the Iñupiat people. The Nunamiut make up the grand majority of people in the village.

The village was not affected at all by The Disaster, mostly by sheer luck. On the days following, it started up communications with the North Slope Confederation. They applied to join the Confederation, but where rejected due to distance. They later on regretted this decision, and told them they could apply again, but the village refused due to the Confederation's policies involving trade, which would have effectively killed the small village and force them to relocate.
