Map of Kipnuk CDP

Kipnuk (Central Yupik: Qipneq) is a census-designated place (CDP) in Bethel Census Area, Alaska, United States. At the 2010 census the population was 639, down from 644 in 2000.

Kipnuk consists mostly of Yup’ik speaking Native Alaskans; the name means a “bend” referring to the bend in the (Qukaqliq) Kugkaktlik River where it is situated. The original settlement was situated along “Nukallpiarcunarli”, a slough feeding into the (Qukaqliq) Kugkaktlik. This slough was thus named, because it was hard to detect. It was ideal for ambushing “Nukallpiaqs” or warrior/providers.
