Our Purpose

Our purpose is to create a brightereconomic future for the Indigenousin Akiak, Alaska.

We call ourselves “Yupiit”

Yup’ik translates “real person”. The Yup'ik and Cup'ik rely on a subsistence lifestyle of hunting, fishing, and gathering local foods and our communities are spread across the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region.

We are Indigenous people of Alaska. Our ancestors have lived and thrived in one of the harshest areas of the world since time immemorial. The Yuit depend on subsistence hunting and fishing to sustain their bodies as well as their traditions and cultures. Storytelling and dance plays a vital role in passing along cumulative knowledge and wisdom about our physical survival, spirituality and individual and social well-belling.
