Iditarod Checkpoint #22 – White Mountain
White Mountain is the only village on the Seward Peninsula that is located inland from the Bering Sea. Two Hundred people live in the Inupiag village. The culture has been influenced by neighboring Yupik people as well as the Klondike Gold Rush. Present day White Mountain began as a fish camp named Nutchirviq which means “mountain look-up point.” During the gold rush of 1900, a warehouse for mining supplies was the first non-Native built structure. After that an orphanage that later became a school was built followed by the Covenant Church. The post office opened in 1932. Fire destroyed the high school building in early 2006. A new school was built on the southern edge of town for the White Mountain Wolves. Fifty students go to school in White Mountain.
