Village of Noatak

This photograph demonstrates the importance of the airport for rural communities in Alaska since there is no road access. It also illustrates the prominence of the school -- typically the largest structure in a community and historically often the only one with running water. The uniform appearance of the houses is a result of state and federally funded public housing development projects.

Photographer: Tommy Ongtooguk. Paul Ongtooguk Collection.
