Bristol Bay Native Place Names

The Bristol Bay Place Names Database is a project initially conceived by Bristol Environmental & Engineering Services Corporation, a subsidiary of BBNC.

Initial funding for concept development was provided by BBNC through the CAMPTEX project, as part of the company's corporate mission to celebrate and preserve Native Heritage.

The Bristol Bay Native Association has provided major funding to accumulate and digitize previously documented Native Place Name data and to develop this website.

The project uses a combination of Internet and Geographic Information System technology (Web-GIS). GIS is a method of graphically illustrating large data sets through digital maps, images, and data tables. Users are able to view and print maps that depict Native Place Names and view supporting information for the named place. Users can also add Native Place Name information to the database and suggest edits and corrections to existing information.
