About Kwethluk
Kwethluk, also called Kuiggluk, is a Yup'ik village in the Bethel Census Area of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. It sits on the Kwethluk River near where it meets the Kuskokwim River, east of Bethel.
High water on the Kuskokwim is a recurring concern, and the village is regularly named in flood watches issued for Bethel and the nearby river villages when rain and onshore winds hold the river high. Residents fish the lower Kuskokwim for salmon, so the condition of the river's coho and other runs matters here.
Kwethluk is one of the Delta villages where Calista Corporation, the regional Native corporation, has sought airport land to house equipment for hardwired broadband. Its neighbors along the river include Bethel, Kasigluk and Napakiak, which share its flood forecasts.
