LEADERSHIP

Our leaders are the honored whaling captains from each of the eleven whaling villages represented by the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission. Strongly rooted in tradition, AEWC leadership utilizes the guidance of our respected elders in developing innovative solutions to challenges that threaten our subsistence hunting rights and the health of bowhead's habitat.
