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.

The John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management,and Recreation Act (Public Law 116-9), was passed on March 12, 2019, this Act provided for Alaska Native Vietnam era Veterans to receive an allotment.
The DOI intends to begin the application period in September 2020. The DOD, in coordination with the Department of Veterans Affairs, is preparing a list of potential applicants based on armed Forces service dates between August 5, 1964 and December 31, 1971, and will provide this list to the DOI. From the combined data, the Secretary of the Interior will make a determination who meets the definition of "eligible individual."
The DOI is requesting help from tribes and native Corporations in encouraging Vietnam era veterans to update their contact information with the Bureau of Indian Affairs Enrollment office. If an eligible individual is deceased, the Alaska State Court must appoint a personal representative of the estate of that eligible individual.
Please click here for the flyer, which contains additional information and an enrollment link.
