The Wulik River (Iñupiaq: Ualliik kuuŋak) is a stream, about 80miles long, in the northwestern part of the U.S. state of Alaska.[2] Originating in the De Long Mountains in the North Slope Borough, it flows southwest to Kivalina Lagoon in the Chukchi Sea, east of Kivalina.[2] 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.[3]
Umiak Bend, along the river and 8miles northwest of Kivalina, was named after an Inuit skin boat (umiak) was destroyed there by rough water.[4]
In 1886, a United States Navy lieutenant reported the Inuit name of this river as "Woleek."[2]
