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.

AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (ACA)/INDIAN HEALTH CARE IMPROVEMENT ACT (IHCIA)
Review of Medicaid Coverage Provisions in Two Recently Enacted Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Relief Bills
The following brief from the IHS Tribal Self-Governance Advisory Committee (TSGAC) provides to Tribes and Tribal organizations information on the Medicaid coverage provisions included in two coronavirus (COVID-19) relief bills enacted in March 2020.
On March 18, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (Families First Act), which contained several provisions designed to promote Medicaid coverage for coronavirus testing, including providing enhanced federal financial assistance for this testing, as well as for Medicaid services generally. A second coronavirus relief bill-the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), signed into law on March 27, 2020-revised and clarified these Medicaid coverage provisions.
TSGAC Brief
If you have questions about this brief, please contact Doneg McDonough, TSGAC Technical Advisor, at DonegMcD@Outlook.com
The STRP is part of a relief strategy to support fishermen and other producers while the administration continues to work on free, fair and reciprocal trade deals to open more markets to help American farmers compete globally.
The STRP is not a first-come, first-served program. The average domestic landings reported between 2017 and 2019 were used to determine payment rates per pound of eligible seafood commodities. Those payment rates reflect the estimated severity of the impact of trade disruptions to U.S. seafood caught and sold commercially, and the adjustment to new trade patterns for the types of seafood products. The total amount of estimated damage was used to determine how much funding would be needed. Payments are limited to $250,000 for all seafood commodities combined per person or legal entity. In addition, an applicant’s average adjusted gross income (AGI) cannot exceed $900,000 unless at least 75 percent of the AGI of the person or entity comes from farming, ranching, forestry, seafood harvesting, or related activities.
Sign-up for relief through the program from September 14, 2020 through December 14, 2020 by submitting an application through your local USDA Service Center.
