The 7,028 residents, (92.5% Alaska Native), are scattered among small communities. Lacking a hub city, the area relies upon neighboring Bethel as a supply center. The economies of these mostly Yupik villages are essentially subsistence based. Sources of income include commercial fishing, fish processing, fire fighting, fur trapping, and the manufacture of arts and crafts. The provision of supplies and services is also a large component of the cash economy.         Links: Township Locator Alaska Resources at Rootsweb Cyndi's List - Alaska Localities Interment.net - Cemetery Transcription Library Social Security and Death Index Birth, Death, Marriage, & Divorce Records Alaska State Vital Records Bureau of Vital Statistics Department of Health & Social Services 350 Main Street, Room 114 Juneau, Alaska 99811-0675 Phone: 907-465-3392 Lookup Volunteers Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness - Alaska Forums & Message Boards AlaskaWeb Queries GenForum Alaska Message Board RootsWeb Message Boards - Alaska       Mailing Lists: AKWEB: Alaska Genealogy & History - This is a statewide list intended for the exchange of genealogical, historical and cultural information about the state of Alaska and the ancestors who lived here.
