Tribal Area Description
In Alaska, Arctic Village has reservation lands managed by a Alaska Native Village. Gwich'in settlement above the Arctic Circle, deeply involved in land protection and caribou habitat preservation.
When the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) was passed in 1971, Venetie and Arctic Village opted for title to the 1.8 million acres of land in the former reservation. They traditionally used seasonal camps and semi-permanent settlements, such as Arctic Village, Christian, Venetie, and Sheenjak, in pursuit of fish and game. Arctic Village is on the east fork of the Chandalar River, 100 miles north of Fort Yukon and 290 miles north of Fairbanks. There is archaeological evidence that the Arctic Village area was populated as early as 4,500 BC. The Neets’aii Gwich’in of Arctic Village lead a subsistence-based lifestyle. In 1943, the Venetie Indian Reservation was established, due to the efforts of several area villagers to protect their land for subsistence use. Residents continue to use the community as a base of operations from which they pursue seasonal subsistence activities.
