United Tribes of Bristol Bay is a Tribal consortium working to protect the traditional Yup’ik, Dena’ina, and Alutiiq ways of life in Southwest Alaska that depend on the pristine Bristol Bay Watershed and all it sustains, most notably Bristol Bay’s wild salmon. Our membership consists of 15 federally recognized Tribes in Bristol Bay, representing over 80 percent of the region’s population. Bristol Bay Tribes founded UTBB in 2013 after recognizing the need for a united voice in our longtime efforts to protect our way of life.

United Tribes of Bristol Bay works in close partnership with Native American Rights Fund. NARF is the oldest and largest nonprofit law firm dedicated to asserting and defending the rights of Indian tribes, organizations and individuals nationwide. Together, UTBB and NARF seek to provide the highest levels of protection for Bristol Bay’s most important resource: its people.

UTBB is also privileged to have the help of volunteers, interns, contractors, temporary employees and many partner organizations who support our mission each year. Our work would not be possible without their assistance.

The consortium is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as eligible to receive tax-deductible charitable contributions.

The United Tribes of Bristol Bay members include: Togiak Traditional Council, Twin Hills Village Council, Manokotak Village Council, Curyung Tribal Council, Ekuk Village Council, Clark’s Point Village Council, Aleknagik Traditional Council, Portage Creek Village Council, New Stuyahok Traditional Council, New Koliganek Village Council, Levelock Village Council, Nondalton Village Council, Pilot Point Tribal Council, Pedro Bay Village Council and Chignik Lake Tribal Council.
