The Craig Tribal Association also provides our Tribal Members with special seasonal benefits: 


Each Fall Season, the Tribe hosts its Annual Tribal Membership Meeting. Here you can gain a lot of great information regarding tribal membership and be provided with many updates as to what has been achieved within the Tribe over the last year of operation. As an added bonus, the Tribe gives out a few special door prizes as names are drawn just for participation and attendance to the meeting!  



Shortly after the Annual Membership Meeting, in the same month of November, the Tribe hands out Thanksgiving Turkeysto Tribal Member families. Each Tribal Member family residing in Prince of Wales at the time of the turkey distribution is eligible to receive one. Limit is one (1) per household. 



In December the Tribe hands out Holiday Hamsto Tribal Member families. The same rules apply here as they did with the turkey distribution. Each Tribal Member Family residing in Prince of Wales at the time of the ham distribution is eligible to receive one. Limit is one (1) per household. 



Our Tribal Council and Staff demonstrate appreciation for our Tribal Elders through a home-cooked Monthly Elder Luncheon. This special time of the month, our elders can expect the best traditionally prepared meals, served along side coffee,water, juice, and Hudson Bay tea, or better known as "Swamp Tea," and a delicious and decadent homemade dessert.
