People have made the sheltered waters of Seldovia their home for thousands of years. The Seldovia area was the meeting and trading place for the Kodiak Koniags, the Aleuts from the Aleutians, the Chugach people of Prince William Sound, and the Tanaina Kenaitze people of Cook Inlet. Speaking Sugpiaq, Aleut and Dena'ina, people traded goods as well as ideas and traditions. People continued to rely on the ocean, rivers and land as they had before.

While there is no written history of our ancient people, archaeological studies have found stone and bone tools, the remains of fish and animals the people ate, and home sites and graves. Our people relied on the waters and tidal flats of the Cook Inlet and Kachemak Bay for food, clothing, and the tools necessary for life in the region.
