Chugach Regional Resources Commission was formed in 1984 in an effort to take a more active role in the resource management decision-making process. The seven Tribes of the Chugach Region met and established that the long range goal of CRRC is to "promote Tribal sovereignty and the protection of our subsistence lifestyle through the development and implementation of Tribal natural resource management programs to assure the conservation, sound economic development, and stewardship of the natural resources in the traditional use areas of the Chugach Region."... The Purpose of this project is to develop a K-12 curriculum for the Chugach region that reflects Alaska Native beliefs, values and understandings of the natural world and science education standards. Chugach Regional Resources Commission believes that a culturally-based natural resource science curriculum would enhance Alaska Native Students' education and motivation to pursue post secondary degrees and careers in the sciences..
