Anaktuvuk Pass, 2016. Anaktuvuk Pass, located between the Anaktuvuk and John rivers in the Brooks Range, is a mountain village that literally translated means “the place of caribou droppings,” due to its distinction as a historic caribou migration route. Anaktuvuk Pass is the last remaining settlement of the inland Inupiat, Nunamiut. The original nomadic peoples left the Brooks Range and scattered in the early 20th century, due to the fall of the caribou population, but then after several Nunamiut families returned to the area mid-century, the community was incorporated as a second class city in 1957. Inupiat make up roughly 83 percent of the nearly 400 person population according to 2011 statistics.
