Kotzebue is located 26 miles north of the Arctic Circle on the shores of the Chukchi Sea. More than 90 percent of its residents are of Iņupiat Eskimo descent and they still utilize a hunting and gathering lifestyle to help them survive. The city started out as an Eskimo trading center and is now the headquarters for Northwest Arctic Native Association (NANA), a regional corporation that oversees everything from mining and drilling operations to hotel management.
