BRISTOL BAY NATIVE ASSOCIATION ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Bristol Bay Region in Southwest Alaska Visitor’s Guide
Dear Bristol Bay Visitor,
We welcome you to our Bristol Bay Region. The vastness of our section of Bristol Bay has so much to offer, including excellent fishing, superb hunting and wilderness, photographic opportunities and much more. We hope this guide helps in planning your visit to Alaska’s Bristol Bay Region, and provides some insight into the Alaska Native way of life. In your travels in our region we ask that you: Support local businesses. Many communities have stores where the work of local ivory carvers, basket weavers, skin sewers and other craftspeople may be purchased. Respect the subsistence activities of village residents. We respectfully ask you refrain from sport fishing too close to subsistence nets. Respect the spawning activity and spawning ground of the salmon. Its life cycle is vitally important to everyone in our region. Respect private lands. The region holds some 1,550 privately owned Native allotment parcels, averaging 90 acres in size, and village corporation lands in the region total more than 2.7 million acres. Please respect our land and not litter. Whatever you bring into camp, kindly take with you when you leave. Please remember that we have not inherited the land from our forefathers. We have borrowed it from our children. Help us insure that your grandchildren can enjoy it as well.
Bristol Bay Region
