All three people involved in the knife attack were "highly intoxicated" from drinking homebrew, according to a trooper report.
"We know there are three wounded, but we don't know who the aggressor is," said trooper spokeswoman Beth Ipsen.
Two men suffered non-life-threatening knife wounds, Ipsen said. The third person, a woman, was cut above the eye, although the injury did not appear to be caused by a knife, she said.
Health aides in the village of about 800 people reported the attack at 6 p.m. to troopers in nearby Saint Mary's. Delayed by a ground storm and high winds, a trooper wasn't able to leave for Mountain Village until the next morning.
Village health aides, meantime, treated the wounds, Ipsen said.
"Four health aides did a wonderful job responding to the house and getting them to the clinic. ... Health aides (are) the unsung heroes in many villages where there is no constant law enforcement process," Ipsen said.
On Monday morning, a trooper drove about 20 miles by snowmachine to investigate, Ipsen said.
Troopers have released few details about the attack. No one involved has been publicly identified, though troopers said all three people live in the same household. The two men were flown to Bethel Monday for treatment.
A woman who answered the phone number listed for the Mountain Village police department said there was no public safety department and referred questions to troopers. Calls to the trooper post in nearby Saint Mary's went unanswered.
