Sometimes the most urgent needs can’t wait. A gift to the General Fund gives the Igiugig Village Council the flexibility to direct support where it’s needed most—whether that’s securing land, launching a new cultural program, or responding to threats to our environment. Your trust empowers local leadership to act swiftly and strategically on behalf of the community.
The land is not just where we live—it is who we are. Through the Kuicaak Fund’s Land Back initiative, we purchase and protect Native allotments before they are lost to outside buyers. Every acre we purchase strengthens our sovereignty and secures a future where our children can fish, hunt, and thrive on their ancestral lands.
Give to Protect Our Land, Culture, and Future
For generations, the Igyararmiut have cared for the land, waters, and ways of life that sustain us. The Kuicaak Fund ensures that future generations can do the same—by reuniting with our homelands, revitalizing our culture, and safeguarding our environment. Every gift strengthens our ability to act swiftly when opportunities arise. Your support makes a lasting impact.
Fundraising Progress
For 8,000 years, we have been caretakers of this land. Today, we blend Indigenous knowledge with modern science to protect Bristol Bay’s salmon, restore habitat, and ensure that our lands remain healthy for future generations. Your donation supports local Guardians, conservation efforts, and environmental monitoring led by the people who know this land best.
Our language, stories, and traditions connect us to the past and guide us into the future. Your support helps fund language programs, cultural camps, and the Igiugig Cultural Center, ensuring that our knowledge is passed down and that young people learn through hands-on experience.
The fight to protect Bristol Bay from industrial mining is far from over. The Kuicaak Fund is committed to stopping Pebble Mine and other threats to our watershed through advocacy, legal action, and grassroots organizing. With your help, we will ensure that the world’s last great wild salmon fishery is never destroyed.
