The 7,028 residents, (92.5% Alaska Native), are scattered among small communities. Lacking a hub city, the area relies upon neighboring Bethel as a supply center. The economies of these mostly Yupik villages are essentially subsistence based. Sources of income include commercial fishing, fish processing, fire fighting, fur trapping, and the manufacture of arts and crafts. The provision of supplies and services is also a large component of the cash economy.         Links: Bureau of Land Management Township Locator ALHN Topic Pages - Covers everything from antique letters and archaeology to the wild west Alaska Resources at Rootsweb Cyndi's List - Alaska Localities Alaska Tombstone Project at Rootsweb Interment.net - Cemetery Transcription Library Social Security and Death Index Birth, Death, Marriage, & Divorce Records Alaska State Vital Records Bureau of Vital Statistics Department of Health & Social Services 350 Main Street, Room 114 Juneau, Alaska 99811-0675 Phone: 907-465-3392 Cemetery & Funeral Homes Alaska Cemetery Registrations - USGW Tombstone Transcription Project Obituary & Newspaper Articles Alaska Newspaper Abstracts Lookup Volunteers Genealogy Helplist - Alaska <http://www.helplist.org> Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness - Alaska <http://www.raogk.com>     Mailing Lists: ALHN-AK: ALHN Alaska Genealogy & History - A mailing list for the discussion and sharing of information regarding genealogy and history in Alaska.
