Kuuyuk

Kuuyuk stands at the mouth of the Koyuk River, where it enters Norton Bay on the Seward Peninsula. The river links the bay with the interior, while the coast offers access to marine resources. The people of this country include Unalit and Malemiut communities, whose families historically travelled according to the seasons. South of the river mouth, the site of Iyatayet on Cape Denbigh preserves traces of human occupation thousands of years old, evidence of the long history of settlement around Norton Sound.
