Kaktovik 〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Kaktovik ) 〕 (''Qaaktuġvik'' in Iñupiaq) is a city〔 〕〔 〕 in North Slope Borough, Alaska, United States. The population was 293 at the 2000 census〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=United States Census Bureau )〕 and 239 as of the 2010 census.〔 ==History== Until the late nineteenth century Barter Island was a major trade center for the Inupiat and was especially important as a bartering place for Inupiat from Alaska and Inuit from Canada. Kaktovik was traditional fishing place—''Kaktovik'' means "Seining Place"—that has a large pond of good fresh water on high ground. It had no permanent settlers until people from other parts of Barter Island and northern Alaska moved to the area around the construction of a runway and Distant Early Warning Line station in the 1950s. The area was incorporated as the City of Kaktovik in 1971. Due to Kaktovik's isolation, the village has maintained its Inupiat Eskimo traditions. Subsistence is highly dependent upon the hunting of caribou and whale. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kaktovik, Alaska」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
