In 1938, the name of the community was changed to Allakaket (the old name for the mission), and the name Alatna was assumed by the small Eskimo community across the river. Allakaket is mainly an Athabascan community; Kobuk Eskimos live across the river in Alatna. Allakaket is on the south bank of the Koyukuk River, southwest of its junction with the Alatna River, approximately 190 air miles northwest of Fairbanks and 57 miles upriver from Hughes. New Allakaket and Alatna are located outside of the city limits. In September 1994, flood waters destroyed and swept away nearly all of the community’s buildings, homes, and food caches for the winter. The village of Alatna is located directly across the river. The average high temperature during July is 70 °F. The average low temperature during January is well below zero and extended periods of -40 °F are common.
