Savoonga is a traditional St. Lawrence Yupik village with a subsistence lifestyle based on walrus and whale hunting. It is hailed as the “Walrus Capital of the World.” Whale, seal, walrus, and reindeer comprise 80% of islanders’ diets. Due to the island’s isolation, most residents are bilingual — St Lawrence Island Yupik is still the first language.
