The Central Yupik name for Quinhagak is Kuinerraaq, meaning the “new river channel”. For most of the 700 people who reside in this village, Yupik is their first language and they often practice food security as their livelihood. Many members of the community utilize the resources Quinhagak has to offer such as salmon and trount fishing, bird, caribou, and moose hunting, and berry and plant picking. -- Quinhagak, 2015
