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.Scholarship Application
