THE VILLAGE
Dutch Harbor, located on Amaknak Island in Unalaska, is one of the few American sites bombed by the Japanese in WWII. Today, it is known for fishing or seafood processing which is the major industry on the islands. UniSea, the largest corporation, is a major employer although there are several employment opportunities: teachers, a fire chief and police officers are some of the positions that are available. There are many different cultures and people groups represented in community. Historically as well as today, Dutch Harbor/Unalaska is predominately native Aleut; Filipino as the largest Asian population on the island.
