St. George sits on the northeast shore of St. George Island, the southern-most of five islands in the Pribilofs. Predominantly an Aleut community, St. George has a Eskimo and Indian population of about 130. A federally-recognized tribe is located in the community -- the St. George Island Traditional Council. The population of the community consists of 92.1% Alaska Native or part Native. The Pribilof Island seal population and the community’s dependence on it has been a major influence on the local culture. Most employment is in government positions and commercial fishing.
