People can hunt in Noatak National Preserve. That is not a typical activity allowed in national park units. However, the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) states that local people will be able to hunt, fish, trap, and gather plant foods on this public land. It protects an 11,000 year old subsistence way of life. The label "preserve" also allows for non-local people to hunt. Non-local hunters can harvest wildlife in Noatak National Preserve according to Alaska State regulations. The following short film gives valuable advice. Everyone wants to have a good hunting experience. This advice helps everyone prepare for the challenges and rewards of a remote trip to a vast wilderness.
