Nondalton is an Athabascan Indian (Tanaina and Iliamna) village. The name means "lake after lake" in their language: the village is situated along one of a line of lakes. Nondalton was first recorded in 1909. The village was originally located on the north shore of Six Mile Lake, but was moved to the present location in 1940, due to the depletion of wood and the growth of mud flats.
Subsistence hunting and fishing are the major economic activities. Government is by tribal council. There is a food store with a post office attached, a state-certified public school providing pre-kindergarten through 12th grade instruction, an outpatient medical clinic with family social services, a maintained Russian Orthodox church, a fishing lodge, and a water purification plant. Uncertified water is usually piped to most houses; septic tanks are used for sewage; and electric power and telephone service is available. Nondalton is on a boil drinking water notice indefinitely.
Nondalton is isolated: there are no highways or roads connecting it to other villages. The primary means of access and egress to the village is by airplane: a privately owned airport for single-engine craft services the village.
Among the issues affecting the village at the start of the 21st century is the proposed Pebble Mine site to the west and in the vicinity of nearby Lake Iliamna, likely to be mining copper, gold and molybdenum porphyry in the late 2020s. There are potential impacts on fishing grounds.
In addition, access to the community by land could be eased by a bridge over the Newhalen River, which would ease connection to the communities of Iliamna and Newhalen. There is a road along the Newhalen River to connect the communities, and it was later partially tarmaced, but the bridge was never completed. The Lake and Peninsula Borough would like it built, but local residents are not convinced, even though funding may be available from the US Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (2021). They fear increased exploitation of their village lands by incomers.
