While there is an active and vibrant tribal court (txin kaangux court, or TK) and treatment program operated by the aleut community of ST

The Aleut Community of Saint Paul Island received a $849,357 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance (CFDA 16.585 Treatment Court Discretionary Grant Program) to translate their successful on-island Txin Kaangux [Health and Wellness] Rural Village Healing to Wellness Court (HTWC) model into the accepted Adult Treatment Court best practice standards. This will allow the tribe to bring their culturally-grounded, restorative justice approach to their urban tribal citizens residing in the Anchorage service area, who make up over 90% of the enrolled tribal membership. The goal is to expand access to the tribe's evidence-based substance use disorder treatment, drug testing, incentives/sanctions, and transitional services to this off-island population, in alignment with the Treatment Court Discretionary Grant Program's objectives of reducing recidivism and increasing access to treatment for individuals with substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges.

Paul island, which serves all the tribal membership onsite, there is no bridge that allows those services to be offered to tribal membership offsite. A vast majority of enrolled tribal members (90% or greater) reside offsite or outside of the ST. Paul island community. The tribe proposes to take its successful txin kaangux [health and wellness] rural village healing to wellness court (htwc) and translate its model into the accepted adult treatment court best practice standards and key components to be implemented within the tribes anchorage service area and ever-growing population of relocated urban tribal citizens. In this way, the tribe can build on its on-island successes, bringing culture and restorative principles to its urban tribal citizens, while incorporating fidelity to the best practices available in the field of recovery.
