Qizhjeh Vena: Our Lands

Kijik Corporation’s lands encompass 126,000  of surface estate surrounding Lake Clark
and Six Mile Lake in the Bristol Bay Region of Alaska. These lands represent some of
the most beautiful and pristine areas in the region, providing the foundation of our subsistence lifestyle, and the source of our enduring connection to the Dena’ina Athabascan people.

Valuing Our Resources

Timber, Minerals, Gravel, and Energy

Our lands contain a variety of natural resources, including timber, minerals, gravel, and potential sources of renewable energy. Kijik Corporation has conducted surveys to document these resources for current and potential use. Any development is approached with caution, aligning with our mission to preserve and protect our lands for generations to come.

Community and Recreation

Keyes Point Subdivision and Recreational Lots

In March 2000, Kijik established the Keyes Point subdivision, offering recreational lots around Lake Clark. Accessible only by plane or watercraft, Keyes Point is governed by covenants, conditions, and restrictions managed by the Keyes Point Property Owners Association. Currently, approximately 29 lots are available for sale to the public.

Non-shareholder or descendant visitors must obtain a recreational land use permit before entering.
