Northwest Arctic
The Northwest Arctic Borough on the
north shore of the Seward Peninsula is the second largest
borough in Alaska in landmass. Kotzebue is the commercial
hub of the region. Communities include Noorvik, Selawik,
Ambler, and Kivalina. Most village residents are Inupiat
Eskimos with a subsistence lifestyle. The Red Dog Mine,
the largest zinc mine in the world, provides some employment.
