Villages
Calista region includes the villages of the lower Yukon and the middle and lower Kuskokwim Rivers, Nunivak Island, and the Bering Sea coast from the mouth of the Yukon River south to Cape Newenham. Forty eight permanent communities and eight seasonally occupied villages or sites are located in the region.
The 56 original Calista villages are organized in 45 for-profit ANCSA village corporations, each receiving ANCSA surface estate land entitlements. The village corporations for the communities of Kalskag, Lower Kalskag, Aniak, Chuathbaluk, Napaimute, Crooked Creek, Georgetown, Red Devil, Sleetmute, and Stony River merged to form The Kuskokwim Corporation. The village corporations for Nightmute and Umkumiute merged to form Chinuruk, Incorporated.
