As of 2005, the tribe had 278 enrolled citizens.[3]

In 2020, the village ordered a community-wide lock-down in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

In 2023, the Native Village of Eek and several other Alaska Native tribes joined a lawsuit against Donlin Gold, LLC, a mining corporation, alleging that the mine was a public health danger and did not have proper permits. The State of Alaska sided with the mining corporation.[5]
