About
The Simon Paneak Memorial Museum is an ethnographic museum in Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska that documents and interprets the material history, traditions, and culture of the Nunamiut people, who are inland Iñupiat, or the Alaska Inuit. The museum was established in 1986 and named after Simon Paneak, a local historian and ecologist who worked with scholars such as Laurence Irving to document and preserve the knowledge of the Nunamiut and the Arctic environment. The museum is located in a log building in Anaktuvuk and, as of 2005, saw over 1,000 patrons every summer.
