Chugach Legends- Stories and Photographs of the Chugach Region  
Compile by John Johnson
These photographs and ancient legends of the Native people of the Chugach Region comprise a collection that touches the heart and the soul. These stories transfer a message from prehistoric times of a life and a people who have survived for countless generations on the rim of the North Pacific Ocean. Over the last five thousand years the Chugach have occupied the coastal waters of southcentral Alaska from Prince William Sound to the lower Cook Inlet. The Chugach refer to themselves as Suqpiaq, which means: “Real People” or the original people of their homeland. Seraphim Ukatish, a bilingual teacher in the village of Nanwalek states that the term “Suqpiaq” means a “real person” and was used to distinguish us from other tribes. The word Sugcestun means “as a real person” and refers to the language of the Suqpiaq people, whereas Alutiiq simply means Aleut, a name the Russians gave the Sugpiag.
These stories help to foster and maintain self-awareness and a sense of plave critical to continued self-esteem and identity as a people. The Chugach Alutiiq includes: Port Graham, Nanwalek, Tatitlek, Chenega, Cordova, Nuchek, Kiniklik, Ninilchik, and Seldovia.
