This village was totally destroyed by a tsunami during the 1964 Alaska earthquake.
Twenty three Chenega residents died that day (almost one third of the village).
The B.I.A. tried to relocate the survivors of Chenega to Tatitlek, near Valdez and built platform tents
for them to live in (the 1st year) and then they built them homes, but the people of Chenega were
not comfortable and they found residence in Cordova, Valdez and Anchorage. It wasn't until 1985 (over 20 years
after the earthquake) that a small group of Chenega descendants dedicated a rebirth of
Chenega (called Chenega Bay). It is in a bay 15 miles south of Old Chenega. They have a wonderful
