June 22nd marks ASRC’s 52nd Incorporation Anniversary! One of the 12 Alaska Native regional corporations, ASRC was created pursuant to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) of 1971 following years of legal battles over our ancestral lands. ASRC was the only Alaska Native corporation to vote against ANCSA when the final version was presented to the Alaska Native Federation in 1971. Despite their opposition, the legislation passed, and our early leaders abided by the terms of the law and began building the foundation of ASRC. Today, we have grown from nearly 3,800 original shareholders to over 14,000 shareholders. The decisions made by our early leaders set ASRC on a course of success that continues to today. By remaining committed to our Iñupiaq values, ASRC can continue achieving new heights.

Last week, Arctic Encounter Symposium hosted its annual event in Anchorage, where global leaders gathered to engage in discussions about the Arctic, including Alaska’s Arctic, the ancestral homelands of the North Slope Iñupiat. On Saturday, they traveled to Utqiaġvik to learn how the North Slope region’s economic foundation, our communities’ sustainability, and our vibrant Inupiaq culture intertwine. Bridget Anderson, ASRC’s senior vice president of External Affairs, alongside our region’s tribes, local governments, and Alaska Native village corporations presented a comprehensive overview of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. They shared how our many entities work together to effectively serve the North Slope Iñupiat, including the 14,000 who own ASRC as shareholders.

Erik Kenning, ASRC senior director of lands and natural resources, was recently presented with ASRC’s prestigious Sikuliaq award. The Sikuliaq award honors business leaders from across the ASRC family of companies who have demonstrated an exemplary commitment to the mission and Iñupiaq values of ASRC. With over 30 years of service to ASRC, Erik has been instrumental in preserving shareholders’ access to ancestral lands that are at the heart of Iñupiaq culture and traditions while balancing the need for responsible development in our region. Congratulations Erik on an outstanding career; we wish you the best in your upcoming retirement and quyanaqpak for your hard work and dedication to ASRC, its employees and shareholders.
