The Northwest District has historically served the Bering Straits and NANA Regions. This area represents 20% of the state of Alaska and has a population base of at least 20,000. Approximately 85% are Alaska Native, the remaining 15% are primarily Caucasian.
The region is subsistence oriented. It is also the center of the reindeer industry as well as a center for much of the state's mining. The economy of the region is based primarily on state and federal monies.
The reindeer industry has historically been the focus of this office. In recent years expansion of the program has included home and commercial horticulture, community and economic development and resource education.
