English and Cup’ik are the primary languages spoken in this community of roughly 1100 people. Many of the locals subsistence hunt, fish and gather throughout the year to provide for their families. One of only two Cup’ik communities in Alaska, the residents of Chevak are passionate about their language, traditions and heritage.
Chevak is a very progressive community with several grocery stores, a new health clinic, and in the summer of 2017 road improvements were made supported by AVCP and the Chevak Corporation.
