Northern Alaska Environmental Center

The clean water & mining program advocates for strong water resource protections connected to mineral extraction and related to transportation projects through: collaborations with local villages; participation at regional conferences and in alaska and national coalitions; submitting comment letters to agencies on planning and scoping documents; and producing educational materials-fact sheets and web content-to increase the number of informed individuals who can work to ensure clean rivers, healthy fish, and quality habitats for rural and urban settings.

Youth and education: educating and developing youth in our community is strongly supported by the northern center membership through direct, designated donations. These funds directly support a local summer camp for children, environmental youth groups, and summer internships.

The sovereign inupiat for a living arctic (sila) is a group of inupiat peoples and community members that strive for a sustainable, equitable society across the arctic slope and coastal plain.
