    Manilaq is a native corparation. There are sevral in Alaska like Sealaska, Shee Atika, Kootznawoo,Huna In Southeast. Doyon, Tanana or Tcc (I think) central Alaska or Norton Sound North coast . Each branch is seprate and has an area to serve. They are native corporations. They are Indian Health Service . I worked for a most in one way or another, mostly drug , alcohol or mental health . Kotzebue is Dry (no alcohol) But bootleging in huge ( selling alcohol in the dry communities). They have a high rate of accidental death and self inflicted death due to alcohol. Most lead a subsistance life style , hunting, fishing, gathering. Amazing culture song ,dance, art and language.They are Inupaiq people next to Yupik area. Very nice people but some have Issues with white people. Hope this helps you, any questions just ask . By the way my spelling is very bad sorry Good luck
