across the Calista Region.

Who We Are

We support Calista Shareholders and Descendants through educational programs, community resources, and the living practice and preservation of culture.

From scholarships and burial assistance to cultural programs and language revitalization, our work strengthens connection to land, language, identity, and wellbeing.

Rooted in culture. Growing through knowledge.

 Yuuyaraq guides how we 
live, learn, and care for one another. 
It connects us to the land, to our ancestors, 
and to the generations that follow.

Sharing Yuuyaraq with the World

Our programs bring Yuuyaraq—our way of life—to life.

Through community programs and cultural connection, we strengthen the wellbeing, identity, and opportunities of our people across generations. Every initiative — from scholarships to storytelling — reflects the belief that when culture is alive, our people thrive.
