Dillingham's Mark Lisac started the fish drive to help Chevak residents who lost power to their freezers last month, costing them a season of stored subsistence foods. “I know that if that happened to us we would be in a world of hurt,' he said.
Chevak resident Ryan Bukowski says three freezers at his home filled with subsistence and store-bought foods completely thawed out during a three-day power outage after Western Alaska’s September 2022 storm.
Boats and other gear used in subsistence fishing and hunting lie damaged or destroyed along Chevak’s coastline after the village was hit by remnants of Typhoon Merbok. Lisac reached out to the Curyung Tribal Council in Dillingham, and they came up with a plan to get fish to Chevak and potentially to other communities impacted by the storm. He and other volunteers also tried to contact the Red Cross, Salvation Army, and the Association of Village Council Presidents but didn’t get a response, so they decided to focus their efforts on Chevak.
Back in Chevak, Andrew Charles said the donations from Dillingham’s fish drive will go to people who lost food, like Elders and those who can’t go hunting.
