Alaska Native Corporations

State regulators will fine some Alaska Native corporation shareholders over their criticism on social media. That’s because free speech is not protected when it comes to corporate elections.

Arctic Slope Regional Corp. has long been one of the most aggressive advocates for opening ANWR to oil development.

Long before it announced its withdrawal from AFN, there were signs of a schism between ASRC and the most influential Native advocacy group.

Tribes, organizations, and communities have begun opposing the mine development and organizing.

Arctic Slope Regional Corp. would be the only Alaska Native corporation in the state not to be a member of the Alaska Federation of Natives.

Cook Inlet Tribal Council says its insurer has acted in bad faith assessing earthquake damage and paying money for repairs.

A major proposed North Slope oil project is running into local opposition from residents of the village of Nuiqsut, who are already partially surrounded by development and wary of more.

For thousands of Sealaska Corp. shareholders, it’s a tradition to take shopping trips to larger communities when dividends are distributed. But gaps in ferry service mean many aren’t able to make the trip.

The Alaska Federation of Natives convention heard remarks by both of Alaska’s U.S. senators and voted on a number or resolutions, one of which sparked a contentious debate on climate change.

On stage at AFN, the president and CEO of Cook Inlet Region Inc. pointed to the governor’s “violation of separation of powers” and the impacts of state budget cuts as reasons the Alaska Native corporation supports the recall effort.
