anh Office of the Environment
The Office of the Environment is a part of the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (DENR) for the Native Village of Eyak Traditional Council Tribal Government. The office of the Environment works to protect the Native Village of Eyak’s traditional lands, manage subsistence resources for the tribe, and prevent, or mitigate, environmental damage. The people of Eyak have been stewards of this land for over 7,000 years and DENR seeks to continue that tradition.
