Welcome

Our home, Qizhjeh Vena, the ancestral homeland our people, the Dena’ina Athabascan of the Lake Clark and Six Mile Lake region. This place is where our people have lived and thrived for over ten thousand years, as we still do today.

Our village, Nondalton is approximately 160 miles southwest of Anchorage. Kijik represents over 520 shareholders who are of Dena’ina descent.

Our homeland and culture is foundational to the mission and vision for our Corporation. Kijik and its subsidiaries are focused on creating ongoing value for shareholders and do this through responsibly managing our land and natural resources, as well as operating companies which provide a range of best-in-class services to our clients.
