The Bering Strait Region Cooperative Extension serves the residents of Nome and 15 Alaska Native villages in the surrounding 36,000 square miles in western Alaska. The majority of the region's population is Inuit (Yupik, St. Lawrence Island Yupik, and Inupiaq) and resides in villages across the Seward Peninsula. Villages are entirely off the road system requiring commercial airline or private charter for the majority of travel, even between villages.
Cooperative Extension rents office space from 51·çÁ÷¹ÙÍø Northwest Campus in Nome. Outreach
includes reindeer husbandry education, animal health and disease, summer camps for
youth and adults in natural resources, and workshops in food preservation and traditional
Native crafts (introduction to tanning skins into leather, leather stitching, and
carving with antler, hoofs and bones).
