An Alaska Native corporation has started a summer camp in hopes of creating jobs and economic opportunities in the biology field.

Nunivak Island Cultural Education, a subsidiary of the Nunivak Island Mekoryuk Alaska, began a 10-day course for 10 students. The program blends Native and Western science that focus on natural resources on the island of Mekoryuk.

The students are conducting field projects in the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, where the island is located.
