		The Kobuk is a shallow river with many sand bars so the company hired a Native man to pilot the steamer for the first two trips.

		Kobuk Valley National Park is located in Northwestern Artic Alaska, entirely above the Artic Circle, at the northern limit of the Boreal forest.
		Delimited by the Warring Mountains in the South and the Baird Mountains in the North, it is the centerpiece of a vast ecosystem, of which the most visible inhabitants are the caribou of the Western Artic herd.
		It is an impressive sight to witness them swimming across the Kobuk River, a journey that has been for ages central to the lifestyle of the Inupiaq eskimos, who hunt for subsistence the caribou along the river.

	SitNews - A Legendary Mountain of Jade; Just one of Alaska's Arctic Wonders by June Allen
		There are few visitors to the little Eskimo villages along the Kobuk River, a sizeable stream that winds its way along a 200-mile route from its headwaters in the Brooks Range to Kotzebue Sound and the Chukchi Sea.
		But some of these early, and some present Kobuk River inhabitants of Alaska required another definition, because they had chosen to expand their cultural choices and had migrated inland, perhaps seasonally, to take advantage not only of the bounty of the ocean but of the woodlands that provided caribou and other game as well.
		It was called Onion Portage, a place where wild onions grew in profusion and caribou herds were said to have crossed the river during their annual migrations from a time "before man's memory." It seemed a logical place to look for evidence of layers of human habitation.
