Nome Eskimo Community

Nome Eskimo Community Nome Eskimo Community is the federally recognized tribal government for the community of Nome, Alaska.

As an organization, Nome Eskimo Community’s origin dates back to 1939 when it was formed under the Indian Reorganization Act as a federally recognized Tribe. NEC’s members, however, have roots in the region that extend back over a millennium. Initially, NEC operated in a political manner, functioning as the Tribal governing body for the area. As we have grown, our focus has expanded to provide social services and programs to improve the quality of life for our Tribal members, Alaska Natives and Native Americans who reside in Nome. NEC now offers a multitude of services organized under the following service programs: Family Services, Tribal Services, Tribal Youth Program, Tribal Resources and Housing Program.
