Kawerak’s Eskimo Heritage Program (EHP) was established in 1981 to record and preserve cultural information related to the Region’s culture and history, and makes them available for research and educational purposes. EHP has a collection of recorded stories, songs, family genealogies and oral history. The various topics recorded include: hunting, fishing, boat construction, skin sewing, gathering and preparation of food.

 The EHP collection includes 1,200 audiotapes, 300 videotapes, 7,000 slides, 3,500 photographs and a small library. EHP is always open to adding to the collection.

Copies of media, photographs and audio recordings are available to Tribal members. A small fee is required, or you can bring a blank CD, DVD or jump drive. EHP staff can also assist you view or listen to the materials in our office. For Non-Tribal Members, a Patron Application must be completed to access the collection. If you have personal photographs or recordings that you would like to have available for generations to come, please contact us. We will assist in duplicating or in recording your collection onto CD or DVD. If your school or community is conducting any research and documentation of Elders, please contact EHP for collaboration. If you would like to volunteer within our program, EHP has opportunities for community service and involvement in EHP.
