The last people living in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
"In 1980, Jimmy Carter established the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in the Alaskan Interior, cutting off 19 million acres of prime boreal wilderness from the mitts of fur trappers, oil tycoons, and would-be lodge owners alike. Only six families of white settlers were grandfathered in and allowed to keep cabins in the refuge -- of them, only one still stays there year -- round living off the land." See the documentary (via BoingBoing).
