Our work
We envision a sustainable future for the Bering Sea region and Western Alaska grounded in generations of Indigenous bio-cultural knowledge that also promotes our languages and cultures. Tukuuludaa works directly with Tribes, regional and national organizations, and international partners, as well as communities, individual artists, and culture bearers in our region, to assist in establishing good environmental, welfare, artistic, and economic development programs and initiatives for the benefit of all Bering Sea residents. The following projects provide some select examples of these programs and initiatives.
