Brevig Mission Clinic

Brevig Mission Traditional Council, located in Brevig Mission, AK, serves the community by preserving and promoting the indigenous culture of the Native Village of Brevig Mission. The council plays a vital role in supporting the population of 418, who predominantly speak Inupiaq and lead a subsistence lifestyle.

With a rich history dating back to the late 19th century, Brevig Mission has deep roots in missionary work and reindeer husbandry. The area was once home to migratory Eskimo communities engaged in trade with neighboring regions. The establishment of the Teller Reindeer Station and the subsequent Lutheran mission are pivotal moments in the village's development.

While reindeer husbandry was once the cornerstone of the local economy, the Brevig Mission Traditional Council continues to uphold the legacy of its ancestors through cultural preservation efforts. The community's strong ties to its heritage and the enduring spirit of its people make Brevig Mission a place of historical significance and cultural richness.
