MISSION STATEMENT: Nome Eskimo Community is a federally recognized tribal government improving the quality of life of those we serve. SERVICE PROGRAMS: Family Services, Tribal Services, Tribal Youth, Tribal Resources (Environmental Activities), and the Housing Program Suffixes often are accompanied by changes in the stem, such as the doubling of consonants in Inuite.g., nanuq ‘polar bear,’ dual nannuk ‘two polar bears,’ plural nannut ‘several polar bears’ inuk ‘person,’ dual innuk. In Unangam Tunuu the word forms are simpler, but syntax can be more complex. WHAT WE REPRESENT: The political, social, and cultural interests of Native peoples in the community of Nome and the Bering Strait region Eskimo has a great number of suffixes but only one prefix and no compounds. NEC’s Tribal Transportation Program serves the community as a whole, helping to safeguard the resources on which we all depend.Īs NEC looks to the future, we will strive to continue to improve the community’s well-being while honoring and preserving the rich cultural heritage of the area’s Native peoples. NEC is also working with the local school district to establish a program to provide culturally-based education. With our partners, we have organized basketball camps, cultural outings, summer camps, and after-school study programs for those attending grades K-12. NEC’s partnerships with organizations such as the Nome Recreation Center, Nome Community Center, Nome Public Schools, Kawerak, Inc., Nome Youth Facility, and Norton Sound Health Corporation have broadened our reach into the community and provided positive activities for our youth.

As we have grown, our focus has expanded to provide social services and programs to improve the quality of life for our tribal members, Alaska Natives, and Native Americans who reside in Nome. Initially, NEC operated in a political manner, functioning as the tribal governing body for the area. NEC’s members, however, have roots in the region that extends back over millenia. As an organization, Nome Eskimo Community’s origins date back to 1939 when it was formed under the Indian Reorganization Act as a federally recognized tribe.
