The Sitka District is part of Southeast ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ, covering Sitka south to Ketchikan and east to the Canada border with a population of about 32,000. About a quarter of the residents across the district are ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ Native, mostly Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian, although the population of some smaller communities such as Kake, Klawock, and Hydaburg is more than 80 percent ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ Native. Tourism, mining and fisheries, including mariculture, and a diminishing timber industry drive the local economy. The region is accessible only by boat and plane.
The district offers outreach programs in health, home and family development; and
4-H and youth development.
