TIKIGAQ – WHO WE ARE

2018.04.08 POINT HOPE-118.jpg

Tikigaq Corporation is an Alaska Native Village Corporation situated in Point Hope, Alaska.  Tikigaq was established in 1973 under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). 

 

Tikigaq’s 1900 shareholders are Iñupiaq people native to northwest Alaska. Many shareholders still reside in Point Hope, their ancestral village, relying on the land for subsistence as their forefathers did. Tikigaq understands the importance of teaching their children the cultural and spiritual significance of the Iñupiaq lifestyle that bridges generations and connects shareholders to each other, to their ancestors, their culture, and to their land. The Iñupiaq have flourished in one of the harshest environments on earth because their lifestyle is guided by strong core values they have not deviated from.

 

The same values that have kept our shareholders and their ancestors sheltered, safe and sustained throughout the ages are now guiding Tikigaq companies. This sincere approach to business has made Tikigaq companies’ leaders in diverse and specific markets allowing us to best support both our customers and our shareholders.

About Us

Tikigaq has thrived from lessons learned and successes earned. Tikigaq is a relationship-based family of companies. This is one of our universal business practices.  We partner with other businesses and our customers to develop long-term relationships, get to know their fundamental purposes and business objectives, advocate for their interests as our own, and help them realize their vision. Our Vision, Mission and Values are inspired by our aggregate history, our successful relationships, and our promising future. All activities are performed to the highest degree… with respect, transparency, and compliance-based core values.
