WELCOME to the Sun’aq Tribe of Kodiak website!
Cama’i (“Welcome”)
We are the Sun’aq Tribe of Kodiak, a federally recognized Alaska Native Tribe. We represent more than 1,500+ Sun’aq Tribal members who reside on the island of Kodiak, on other islands in the Kodiak Archipelago, elsewhere in Alaska and Hawa’ii, and also in the lower 48 states.
To promote pride and self-determination on part of the sovereign and indiginous people of the Kodiak area in their cultural heritage and traditions; to preserve and promote education, physical, economic and social well being of the Alaska Native individual, family and community; and to restore to effective self-government, reminding those who govern and those who are governed of their mutual and joint responsibilities.
Kodiak Wild Source is 100% owned by Sun’aq Tribal Enterprises as of January 6, 2010. The processing plant at 420 Marine Way is fully operational.
Sun’aq fisherman and set-netter Gordon Jensen and seine fisherman John Galliher are committed to maximizing our salmon volumes in what is predicted to be a low return year for sockeye.
We are confident that we are laying the foundation for a solid enterprise that will experience steady growth and continued opportunity in the years to come.
The Sun’aq Tribe of Kodiak is collecting old coffee cans (see photo) to reuse for elders to hold their salt for salting slippery porches. Please bring them down to Sun’aq Tribe or contact Sarah Lind at the Tribe 486-4449 or email youthadvocate@sunaq.org.
