Allakaket (/æləˈkækɪt/ al-ə-KAK-it) (Aalaa Kkaakk’et in Koyukon) is a second class city in the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area of the Unorganized Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska.

[4] Several Native groups have lived in the area, including Koyukon Athabascans and Kobuk, Selawik, and Nunamiut Eskimos from the north and northwest.

The Koyukon lived in several camps throughout the year, moving as the seasons changed, following the wild game and fish.

In September 1994, flood waters destroyed and swept away nearly all of the community's buildings, homes, and food caches for the winter.

Allakaket is mainly an Athabascan community; Kobuk Eskimos live across the river in Alatna.

Traditional potlatches, dances and foot races attract visitors from area villages.

Allakaket has a subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc) characterized by frigid, snowy winters and mild summers.

Following flooding in 1994, the residents of the Alatna portion on the western side of the Yukon River relocated to higher ground to the west, just outside of city boundaries.

As a result, in 2000, Alatna was declared a new census-designated place (CDP), separate from the city of Allakaket.

Major components have been replaced—a new washeteria, well and treatment plant, 100,000 US gallons (380,000 L) water storage tank, sewage lagoon, and force main have recently been completed.

Residents carry treated water and haul honeybuckets or use pit privies; no households have plumbing.

The primary year-round employers are the school, City, Tribe and village corporation store.

Salmon, whitefish, moose, bear, small game and berries provide most food sources.

Allakaket has no road link, but winter trails connect it with Hughes, Bettles and Tanana.

River transportation is important in summer, but there is no commercial barge access due to shallow water.

The state-owned Allakaket Airport has a 4,000 by 100 ft (1,219 by 30 m) gravel runway and is accessible year-round.
