ALEUT COMMUNITY OF ST PAUL ISLAND TRIBAL GOVERNMENT

What ALEUT COMMUNITY OF ST PAUL ISLAND TRIBAL GOVERNMENT does

The Aleut Community of St. Paul Island Tribal Government (ACSPI) is a federally recognized sovereign tribal government representing the Unangan people of St. Paul Island, one of the two inhabited Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea, located 300 miles from mainland Alaska and 800 miles from Anchorage. Founded in 1952 and operating with approximately 35 employees, the organization delivers comprehensive services across five pillars: Governance (Tribal Council, Tribal Court, Healing to Wellness Court), Community & Wellbeing (health center, victim advocacy, child protection, housing), Environment & Stewardship (fur seal rookery management, marine debris cleanup, environmental monitoring, reindeer management), Economic Prosperity (tribally-owned enterprises), and Education & Employment (Bering Sea Campus, scholarships, K-12 programs, language preservation). It is one of thirteen federally recognized Aleut tribes and one of 229 federally recognized tribes in Alaska.

The organization runs a portfolio of tribally-owned enterprises centered on environmental and community services. The Indigenous Sentinels Network (ISN) is a tribally-owned, Indigenous-led environmental monitoring platform connecting community members as trained, credentialed Guardians and Sentinels, supporting data collection, food safety monitoring, and data sovereignty. Adjacent products include the Skipper Science youth marine science program, a Fish Map App for community-reported fish observations, and snTech, a technology division of Awalix developing monitoring software on the ISN architecture. The Bering Sea Research Center coordinates community-centered research with academic and agency partners. Awalix LLC and its divisions (Awalix Construction, Awalix Environmental, HMC, Equipment Rental) provide facilities maintenance, construction, environmental restoration, and natural resource management services, primarily under federal and St. Paul Island government contracts. Retail and hospitality operations include the Aleut Community Store and The Tavern. Education is delivered through the Bering Sea Campus and the Canvas LMS (aleut.instructure.com), with language and culture programs operated through TanamAwaa.

Revenue is generated through federal grants, tribal allocations, government-to-government funding arrangements, federal and St. Paul Island government contracts routed through Awalix LLC, and enterprise transactional revenue from retail, hospitality, construction, equipment rental, and environmental services. The customer base is structurally the tribal membership and St. Paul Island residents, with NOAA as a research partner. The organization maintains headquarters on St. Paul Island, a regional support office in Anchorage, and a Rural Community Health Center at 1000 Polovina Turnpike.
