Alaska Native
Corporations

Alaska Native Corporations and tribes drive economic impact and cultural preservation across the state.

Created by the landmark Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971 (ANCSA), Alaska’s 12 regional and 170‑plus village corporations are more than business entities, they are engines of opportunity grounded in millennia‑old cultures. Together with Alaska’s 229 federally recognized tribes, they steward more than 44 million acres of land, employ over 15,000 Alaskans, and generate in excess of $12 billion in annual revenue across sectors from energy and minerals to aviation, technology, tourism, and global logistics.

$13B+ combined revenue

49K+ employees worldwide

$3B+ distributed to shareholders

For outside investors, partnering with Alaska Native entities unlocks a portfolio of unique advantages:

Red Dog Mine, the world’s second largest producer of Zinc, is an economic driver for the landholder NANA Regional Corporation. Development benefits Native shareholders with jobs, dividends and services. In addition to direct benefits to NANA, revenue from the development is shared with other Native and village corporations across the state.

Beyond contracting, ANCs have become active principals—managing real estate, operating hotels, developing natural resource, and providing healthcare—which positions them as trusted stewards of Alaska's land and economy.

Whether co‑developing critical‑mineral projects, building renewable‑energy microgrids in rural hubs, or scaling tech services for federal agencies, ANC and tribal partnerships let investors couple competitive returns with enduring cultural stewardship. In Alaska, profit and purpose travel the same trail, guided by Indigenous values that have sustained Alaska for thousands of years.
