Summary
After decades of advocacy, hunters in Anaktuvuk Pass finally win the green light to use ATVs for subsistence hunting in the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, a major victory for the Nunamiut people’s cultural survival and traditional way of life. Once barred by a 1978 law that deemed ATVs “non-traditional,” residents now gain access to vast lands for hunting, gathering materials, and passing down vital skills to future generations. The U.S. Department of the Interior’s decision opens the door for collaboration with local communities to craft balanced regulations that protect the environment and sacred sites. With this change, families like Kristen Morry’s can once again teach their children the art of hunting and preparing caribou — ensuring heritage endures for centuries to come.
