Orutsararmiut Native Council is a Federally recognized governing body for the community of Bethel, Alaska. Bethel is located along the delta of the Kuskokwim River, approximately 90 miles inland from the Bering Sea and approximately 398 miles northwest of Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska. We are the central hub of the Kuskokwim Delta, a network of 56 villages and area the size of the state of New York.
We provide many services including Natural Resource Management, Housing, Energy Assistance, Education Assistance, Social Services, and Tribal Justice.
Our ability and capacity to lead in numerous aspects of governance has garnered recognition and influence in regional, statewide, and national platforms. The key to our success is in our ability to network with people, agencies, and other communities that impact our daily lives. We have learned to seek the best out of each situation and move forward to become a better community.
We are proud to serve the Native Village of Bethel!
