Ouzinkie Tribal Council

The Ouzinkie Tribal Council serves the village of Ouzinkie, located on Spruce Island in Alaska, which is home to approximately 200 residents primarily of Russian Aleut ancestry. This community, rich in history and culture, is part of the ancestral lands of the indigenous Alutiiq people and is accessible only by air and water.

At the heart of Ouzinkie is the Nativity of Our Lord Russian Orthodox Church, a national historical landmark built in the 1890s, alongside various local services including a post office, grocery store, and health clinic. Employment opportunities in the village are largely provided by government entities and local enterprises, with a focus on preserving the cultural heritage and community spirit of Ouzinkie.
