MUG UP WITH BBNC
A podcast about Bristol Bay communities, cultures, and the stories that connect us
“Mug Up” is special in Bristol Bay, and a tradition in fishing communities. It’s a break for a warm drink and a short visit.
Hosted by Bristol Bay Native Corporation’s Communications team, this virtual “Mug Up” brings the community together to talk about our connections, cultures, and the stories that connect us.
We’re inspired to enrich and celebrate our Native way of life—today and for generations to come. This podcast offers another way to share our values and stories with our community and beyond.

Working for the Future of Bristol Bay with Alannah Hurley
In this episode, we sit down with Alannah Hurley, BBNC shareholder and Executive Director of the United Tribes of Bristol Bay (UTBB). Alannah shares her journey from growing up in Clarks Point to becoming a leading advocate for the protection of Bristol Bay. She reflects on how her upbringing, family values, and traditional teachings have shaped her commitment to community, stewardship, and advocacy.
“If I have one message to share with young people in Bristol Bay is that you are needed. We need you. Our communities are in dire need of our people stepping up into positions of leadership, filling the halls of the Board of Fish, teaching our kids at school all of these different pieces of society. You are so needed.”
