Per the Curyung Tribe's Constitution (Article V.

The Tribal Council moved to rescind supporting the City of Dillingham's Boat Harbor, Playground, and Downtown Fire Hall and moved to obligate the remainder of the ARPA funds to disaster relief allowing for tribal members to apply for a vendor payment.  The Chiefs expressed continued concern that COVID is still around and food and fuel costs have not gone down.  Please reach out to the Tribe's ARPA program for the application.
