About

Pauloff Harbor Village is headquartered at Sand Point on Popof Island in the Shumagin Islands of the Aleutians East Borough.[2] It is one of three federally recognized Aleut tribes in Sand Point.[3]

The tribe is named after Pauloff Harbor off the coast of Sanak Island. Sanak Island is now unpopulated and the former community of Pauloff Harbor is a ghost town. Sanak Island had been populated by Aleut people until 1828 when Russian colonial administrators displaced the population.[4]

As of 2005, the tribe had 51 enrolled citizens.[5]
