Kotzebue

THE VILLAGE

Picture
Kotzebue lies on a sand spit at the end of the Baldwin Peninsula in the Kotzebue Sound, about 30 miles above the Arctic Circle. Kotzebue has a population of over 3,000, about 70% Native Alaskan (Iñupiat Eskimo) and serves a supply hub for ten satellite villages in the Northwest Arctic Borough and one in the North Slope Borough. The Iñupiat Eskimo speaks the same language, Iñupiat (in-yu-pak), as other Arctic Circle communities in Northern Canada and Greenland.

Adventist presence in this village hub comprises of two families with no place to worship. The short and long-term goals of AMA in Kotzebue is to make contact with and minister directly to Alaska Natives of all ages through day camps, installing a radio station and various outreach programs along with a place to worship.
