Serving Our People, Strengthening Tomorrow.
Serving the people of the Calista region by preserving culture, empowering education, and facilitating Yuuyaraq, our traditional Way of Being, to ensure a vibrant and sustainable future.
We Are Yupiit
We call ourselves Yupiit, “Real People.” In our language “yuk” means “person” or “human being.” Then we add “pik”, meaning “real” or “genuine.” We are the real people.
– Paul John, Calista Elder
