==Economy and transportation== {{Unreferenced section|date=January 2010}} Economic and employment opportunities are limited in Anaktuvuk Pass, due to its isolation. Hunting and trapping for sale of skins, guiding hunters, or making traditional [[Masks among Eskimo peoples|caribou skin masks]] or clothing provides income, though some residents have sought seasonal employment outside the town. Caribou is the primary source of meat, with other subsistence foods including [[trout]], [[Arctic grayling|grayling]], [[moose]], [[Domestic sheep|sheep]], [[brown bear]], [[rock ptarmigan|ptarmigan]] and [[Anatidae|water fowl]]. [[Anaktuvuk Pass Airport]], a {{convert|4800|ft|0}} gravel airstrip, is owned and operated by the North Slope Borough, and provides Anaktuvuk Pass with year-round access. A $3.4 million airport improvement project was completed by fall 1999, allowing many air companies to provide passenger flight service to Anaktuvuk Pass. There is no road to Anaktuvuk Pass, but [[Cat train]]s transport cargo from the [[Dalton Highway]] (which serves as the [[Trans-Alaska Pipeline System|Trans-Alaska pipeline]] haul road) during the winter. [[Snowmobile]]s and [[all-terrain vehicle]]s are used for local transportation, though some standard vehicles are used.
