Native Village Of Teller

The Native Village of Teller, registered in SAM.gov since 2012 and recognized as a Tribal Government and Federally Recognized Indian Tribe, operates primarily in environmental management and community development initiatives. Located in Alaska, the entity works to address critical environmental and infrastructure needs for its tribal community through strategic federal grant programs. The organization is structured to receive and manage federal assistance that supports environmental protection, community infrastructure, and tribal capacity building.

The Native Village of Teller has consistently secured federal grants focused on environmental management and community resilience, primarily from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Their recent grant awards demonstrate a focus on environmental programs, including the Indian Environmental General Assistance Program (GAP), which provides funding for building tribal environmental program capacities. Specific grant activities have included developing solid waste and recycling programs, water quality monitoring, shoreline erosion control, and community environmental education initiatives. The Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund (CCPF) grant enabled the tribe to invest in critical capital projects that support remote work, education, and health monitoring in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These grants, ranging from $184,000 to an unspecified amount for the CCPF, showcase the tribe's commitment to environmental stewardship, community development, and adaptation to public health challenges.
