Tatitlek (meaning "windy place") is situated in eastern Prince William Sound. It nestles between mountains and sea about 20 miles southwest of Valdez. Tatitlek is an Alutiiq village with a population of approximately 100 and census records beginning in 1890.

Most residents of this coastal village pursue a traditional lifestyle based mainly on subsistence. Tatitlek’s economy also includes fish processing and oyster farming. Boats are the primary means of local transportation. There is a state-owned lighted 3,700-foot gravel airstrip and a seaplane landing area.

Each year, the village of Tatitlek puts on a heritage festival for students from Alaska schools.
