The Ekwok Village Council (EVC) is a federally recognized tribe, under the name of the Native Village of Ekwok (NVE). Our intent with this project is to provide traditional, wild harvested foods to local Ekwok Tribal members who live year-round in Ekwok. Harvesters in remote areas have access to these products and seek buyers through informal networks. NVE will develop a network of local and regional harvesters, purchase these traditional food products, and transport them to Ekwok via regional air service. The procured foods, to include wild-harvested herring eggs and salmon berries, will be distributed upon arrival in Ekwok. The underserved population of local tribal members will be the beneficiaries of the freshly harvested, then frozen product.
