The Bush (Alaska)

The Bush is a term for the portions of Alaska that are not connected to North America's road network.^[1] Most of Alaska's native populations live in the Bush. They live off the land as their ancestors did.^[2][3]

Places in the Bush include Bethel,^[2] Dillingham,^[2] King Salmon,^[2] Nome,^[1][2] Barrow,^[1][2] Katmai National Park,^[1] Kodiak Island,^[1] Kotzebue,^[2] and Unalaska-Dutch Harbor.^[2]

Most parts of Alaska that are off the road system can only be reached by small airplane.^[4] Travel from place to place is usually by snowmobile or snow machine, boat, or sometimes dog sled.^[2]
