Wulik River
The Wulik River (Iñupiaq: Ualliik kuuŋak) is a stream, about  long, in the northwestern part of the U.S. state of Alaska. Originating in the De Long Mountains in the North Slope Borough, it flows southwest to Kivalina Lagoon in the Chukchi Sea, east of Kivalina. It heads in the De Long Mountains, which is 5 miles (8 km) north of Sheep Mountain, and it is 42 miles (67 km) northwest of Noatak. Umiak Bend, along the river and  northwest of Kivalina, was named after an Inuit skin boat (umiak) was destroyed there by rough water. In 1886, a United States Navy lieutenant reported the Inuit name of this river as "Woleek." See also
