Abstract “Rural” in Alaska does not mean the countryside. It is instead a bureaucratic category that both invokes and undercuts the Alaska Native territory that it has, as a result of political compromise, come to represent. As such, it has been a site of intense turmoil and negotiation since the 1970s. In this essay, we zoom in on a rural location marked by struggles to define and shape the character of the rural; in so doing, we explore the tensions embedded in this ambivalent concept.
