The Bush (Alaska)
The Bush is a term for the portion of Alaska that are not connected by North America's interconnected system of roadways.[1] The Bush is where the majority of Alaska's native populations live, living off the land like their ancestors.[2][3]
Places referred to as part of 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] and travel from place to place is typically accomplished through alternative means of transportation such as snowmobile or snowmachine, boat, or dog sled.[2]
