Afognak Native Corporation (Afognak) is an Alaska Native village corporation that formed in 1977 through the merger of Port Lions Native Corporation and Natives of Afognak, Inc., that were established through the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971 (ANCSA). Afognak is responsible for meeting its shareholders' economic, social, and cultural needs. Afognak has over 1,200 shareholders, many of whom continue to live in Port Lions and elsewhere on Kodiak Island. Afognak is headquartered in Kodiak, Alaska, with administrative and subsidiary offices located in Anchorage and throughout the United States, and its companies perform work in various international locations as well. Afognak is managed by a nine-member Board of Directors, all of whom are Alaska Native shareholders of Afognak. The Board created Alutiiq, LLC ("Alutiiq") and various subsidiaries of Afognak and Alutiiq to develop core competencies in commercial and U.S. government contracting industries and to ensure a successful future for its customers and shareholders. Afognak's wholly owned subsidiary, Alutiiq, LLC, is named after the Alutiiq people of the Kodiak Archipelago. Afognak owns 248,000 acres of land in the Kodiak Archipelago, primarily on Afognak Island. Our lands represent our most valuable asset. They have formed the core of our financial success as a Corporation, and they demonstrate continued value through shareholder use for culture, subsistence, economic development, and recreational activities.
