Chugach Alaska Corporation

As we celebrate the red, white, and blue on this 4th of July, Chugach Alaska Corporation wants to take a moment to thank and honor the heroes who make our freedom possible! To all, stay safe and may your holiday be filled with fun festivities spent with family and friends. Our corporate office will be closed on July 4th in observance of Independence Day.

Chugach thanks Sen. Murkowski for legislation she has proposed to resolve a split estate conflict in Prince William Sound between Chugach subsurface development rights and the federal government surface conservation rights. Chugach Chairman Sheri Buretta touched on what the Chugach Land Exchange and Oil Spill Recovery Act, if passed, would achieve 35 years after that devastating event: “Chugach and the federal government will be made whole. It’s a win-win.”

Today – June 23, 2024 – we celebrate the enduring legacy of our founders and the leaders who have carried on their legacy. For the last 52 years, their unwavering commitment and foresight have positioned Chugach Alaska Corporation to faithfully and successfully fulfill its mission for our shareholders and their families. In the late 1960s, a visionary group of individuals from our region came together to protect and preserve Chugach’s cultural heritage, land ownership, and create a pathway to economic prosperity for Alaska Natives in the Chugach region. This monumental effort was pivotal for Chugach in the negotiation and passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) in 1971. Once this landmark legislation was passed, the real work began. In 1972, Cecil Barnes, Walter Meganack, John Borodkin, Vincent Kvasnikoff, and Mary Gordaoff officially established Chugach Native, Inc., later to become Chugach Alaska Corporation. Today, as we mark the 52nd Anniversary of our corporation, we thank our founders and every leader since for their hard work and dedication that has propelled Chugach towards growth and prosperity. Quyana!
