Welcome
Mission
Chugachmiut is the Tribal
consortium created to promote self-determination to
the seven Native communities of the Chugach Region.
We provide health and social services, education
and training, and technical assistance to the
Chugach Native people in a way which is acceptable
to Native cultural values and tradition in order to
enhance the well-being of our people by continuing
to strengthen the tribes and increase
self-determination opportunities for community
operated tribal programs.

This has been questioned by many experts, several of whom were guests at our Consult. (more)
