Indian
Indian is a small, remote community located in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough of Alaska.

During the 20th century, small settlements like Indian became hubs for logging, trapping, and subsistence agriculture.

Today, Indian remains a small, sparsely populated area, valued for its natural beauty, outdoor recreation opportunities, and cultural history.
