Description: Shungnak is a small Inupiaq Eskimo community on the Kobuk River in northwest Alaska. Most of Shungnak's 248 residents depend substantially upon locally harvested wild foods for their subsistence. This report provides an estimate of subsistence harvests by Shungnak residents during calendar year 2002, and is the first comprehensive estimate of subsistence harvests on record for the community.
Notes: The Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game's Division of Subsistence signed a cooperative agreement with the Native Village of Shungnak to conduct the surveys and review project reports.
