ABOUT
Kiana Store & Community
Kiana or Katyaak means “a place where three rivers meet.” Established hundreds of years ago, Kiana is located along the Kobuk River in northwest Alaska. The village became a supply center for mines residing along the Squirrel River in 1909. The community relies on fishing, hunting, and trapping, with caribou and salmon as key resources. Kiana serves as a gateway to the Kobuk Valley National Park, where visitors can explore the Great Kobuk Sand Dunes and wildlife habitats. The village’s history is rooted in Inupiat traditions, with cultural values reflected in daily life. Its remote yet scenic location offers opportunities to experience Arctic Alaska’s natural environment.
