Tununak is the best kept secret on the Delta. We have small (900-1000) foot mountains around the bay. A river flows behind the village. We’re right on the coast so there’s ample halibut, herring and salmon fishing, marine mammal and goose hunting, etc.

When you arrive in August it will be about 60 degrees.  The ground will be muddy and everything will be green.  In September it will begin to get colder and by November there will be enough snow to use snow machines.  People start ice fishing on the river in late October.  We have a lot of wind so we have a lot of wind chill, sometimes -60 degrees.  February and March bring the most wind and snow.  The ice breaks up in late April.  Summers are rainy and buggy.

About 100 K-12

8 certified teachers

Great housing! Seven units with running water, two units with gravity fed running water and incinerator toilets. 

Two great, relatively large stores (Anica’s and the village corps.). 

Costco or Sam’s Club. There’s a $45 annual membership fee. Fred Meyers and Wal-Mart also do bush orders, Hewitt’s Drug Store and Bernie’s Pharmacy will send out prescriptions.  Span Alaska can be used also for food orders also.

You will want to bring mud boots that go to the knee so you can walk around the village. In addition to the boots you should bring warm bedding, pillows, pots and pans, dishes, bathroom accessories, telephone, household appliances like your favorite can opener or waffle maker, and anything else that would make teacher housing feel more like a home.  A TV and DVD player are also a good idea.  We have DISH satellite in most of our housing units.  Do not purchase new winter gear until you get here, the teachers that are here will give you advice on what to purchase and who to purchase from.
