The Inupiat Community of the Arctic Slope (ICAS) is a United States federally recognized Iñupiat Alaska Native tribal entity,[1] which acts as an "umbrella government" for Native villages in the North Slope Borough, including Point Lay, Point Hope, Wainwright, Anaktuvuk Pass, Utqiagvik (Barrow), Atqasuk, Kaktovik, and Nuiqsut.[2]
The Inupiat Community of the Arctic Slope is headquartered in Utqiagvik, Alaska.[3]
In 2023, the Biden administration advanced a $8 billion ConocoPhillips project to drill for oil and gas on Alaska's North Slope. Native reactions to the project have varied, but the Inupiat Community of the Arctic Slope, as a representative of the North Slope, has endorsed the project.[4]
