Our Shareholders
When Kijik Corporation, f.k.a. Nondalton Native Corporation, was founded, there were just 259
original shareholders. At that time, almost 100% of Kijik’s shareholders were of Dena’ina
Athabascan decent. Nondalton is, one of the largest Dena’ina villages in Alaska. Roughly
translated the original name of the village, Qizhjeh Vena, means “many peoples gather lake”.
Today, Kijik has over 500 shareholders, with approximately half living in Anchorage and the
other half in Nondalton. Nondalton shareholders, in large part, live a blended lifestyle of
traditional subsistence hunting and fishing ans summer seasonal employment. Of the many
shareholders that have relocated to Anchorage for employment opportunities or higher
education, some return to Nondalton each summer to dry fish and continue a subsistence
tradition that has endured for centuries.
