Yup'ik Eskimos and Aleuts jointly occupied the area historically. This Aleut village was first recorded in 1880 as "Oogashik." In the 1890s, the Red Salmon Company developed a cannery, and Ugashik became one of the largest villages in the region. The 1919 flu epidemic decimated the population. The cannery has continued to operate under various owners. The Briggs Way Cannery opened in 1963. The village has a small year-round population.
The Ugashik-Peulik volcanic complex lies south of Becharof Lake and east of Upper Ugashik Lake. Late-Pleistocene caldera formation at Ugashik volcano was followed by the emplacement of at least 5 Holocene lava domes within the 4.5-km-wide caldera. Most of the caldera walls consist of basement sandstones of Jurassic age. Following caldera formation the small, 3 cu km Peulik stratovolcano grew 2.5 km to the north to a height of 1474 m, more than 500 m above that of Ugashik. Lava flows from Peulik cover the caldera rim to the south and extend to Becharof Lake, 6 km to the north. A small lava dome at 1200 m elevation on the east flank of Peulik was the source of a small block-and-ash flow. The summit of Peulik volcano contains a 1.5-km-wide crater breached to the west that is partially filled by a lava dome. Debris-avalanche deposits cover a 75 sq km area to the NW. A single documented historical eruption took place from Peulik volcano in 1814.

Ugashik Traditional Village Council
COVID-19 Travel Restrictions and Quarantine Guidelines
April 22, 2021
In response to the on-going world-wide COVID-19 virus pandemic, the Ugashik Traditional Village Council with support from staff and the community members of Ugashik, has developed this updated recommendation for restricting travel to our community, as well as quarantine guidelines for community members returning to Ugashik.
Travel Restrictions: Ugashik Traditional Village Council, hereby limits travel to Ugashik to just those individuals that are essential to community health and village utility and service operations, as well as community members wishing to return to Ugashik. If you or someone you know will be traveling to Ugashik, please check in with the Tribal Administrator, Steven Alvarez (907.338.7694 or manager@ugashikvillage.com).
Interstate Travel and Quarantine Guidelines: Anyone arriving in Ugashik from outside of Alaska must show proof of a negative test result within 72 hrs prior to arrival. If you choose not to test, and are NOT fully vaccinated, you are required to complete a 14-day quarantine in your household or property and must not exhibit signs of being affected by COVID-19 prior to being able to enter other dwellings or community buildings or working for UTVC. During this 14 day quarantine period, you will not have access to any public UTV buildings (Community Center, Equipment Building, Cannery Warehouse).
If a person arrives in Ugashik and is quarantined in a home that has other people living in it, the people within that home or having contact with the individual will also be asked to complete a 14-day quarantine starting on the date of contact.
All travelers coming to the village are required to get tested 3-5 days after arriving and wait for a negative test result before coming out of quarantine. Tests will be available in the village and will be administered by:
Intrastate Travel and Quarantine Guidelines: Travel to and from other villages is allowed. Travelers arriving in Ugashik from within Alaska will be required to show proof of a negative test result within 72 hours prior to arrival and quarantine for 5-7 days.
All travelers coming to the village who are not vaccinated are required to get tested 3-5 days after arriving and wait for a negative test result before coming out of quarantine.
People who are fully vaccinated: People who are fully vaccinated (meaning at least 2 weeks has passed since your second dose of Phizer/Moderna or 2 weeks has passed since 1 dose of Johnson and Johnson vaccine), will not be required to quarantine. Village may require proof of vaccination.
People who are fully vaccinated can gather indoors with other people who are fully vaccinated without wearing a mask, (unvaccinated children may gather with vaccinated family pods at the discretion of the parents).
Other Considerations:
• Per CDC guidelines it is still recommended to take precautions in public settings by wearing a mask and maintaining 6 feet distance. We still require using your mask in all public places.
• Anyone wishing to work for UTVC during their quarantine may work from home or do outside work within their property, while maintaining a minimum six feet separation from other people.
• Fliers with these specific guidelines and suggestions for proper cleaning and virus avoidance will be provided by the Village Liaison, and will be on the outside entrance to the Community Center, Equipment Building and Cannery Warehouse.
• The Tribal Administrator and/or IGAP Manager will inform all vendors and workers, arriving in the village of these requirements.
We realize that the above recommendations will not fit every situation, and that this is an ever-changing environment. Please contact the Village Tribal Administrator if you have a situation which may need further evaluation. Thank you all for your diligence during this challenging time. Let’s work together and slow the progress of this virus so we can protect ourselves and those around us.
End Date: For the continued safety of all Ugashik residents, this policy will stay in effect for as long as the Ugashik Traditional Village Council deems it necessary. Ignoring or violating this mandate can result in removal of services provided by the Ugashik Traditional Village.
