The Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska has held status as a federally recognized sovereign nation of the United States since 1989. Long before the federal recognition of tribal status, the Unangan have provided services to their people as Unangan values dictate.
The mission statement of the Qawalangin Tribe states: The Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska, a federally recognized sovereign nation, vows to exercise its powers to further the economic and social well-being of all its members, and in so doing, will safeguard and support the Unangan language, culture, customs and traditions for those generations to come. |
