The Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission (AEWC) is dedicated to safeguarding the bowhead whale and its habitat while defending the Aboriginal subsistence whaling rights of its eleven member villages along the Arctic coast of Alaska. With a deep spiritual connection to the bowhead whale, the AEWC works to preserve the cultural and traditional values of the Inupiat and Siberian Yupik communities through advocacy, stewardship, and co-management of their whaling practices.

Since its establishment in 1977, the AEWC has played a vital role in navigating the complexities of modern whaling politics, striving to protect traditional subsistence hunting rights on both local and international stages. Led by respected whaling captains and guided by the wisdom of elders, the commission adapts to environmental changes while remaining rooted in the traditions of their ancestors.
