Huslia (/ˈhuːsliə/;[4] Koyukon: Ts’aateyhdenaadekk’onh Denh [t͡sʼæːtʰəj̊tənætəqʼon̥ tən̥]) is a city[5] in Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, Alaska, United States. Rarely known as Hussliakatna, it is inhabited by Koyukuk-hotana Athabascans. The population was 293 at the 2000 census and 275 as of the 2010 census.[5] In January 2025, Huslia became notable for being unusually warm at a time when much of the US was experiencing atypically cold weather due to a polar vortex. Huslia was 20 degrees Fahrenheit warmer in January 2025 than it typically is that month, which was the largest heat increase in the country.[6]
