Chugachmiut is the tribal consortium created to promote self-determination to the seven Native communities of the Chugach Re- gion. 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.
