Givifaaqtuq – to stand proudly

Kikiktagruk Inupiat Corporation (KIC) was created to enrich the lives of our Inupiaq shareholders and descendants—members of one of Northwest Alaska’s most abundant subsistence-based societies. Headquartered in Kotzebue, KIC was formed in 1973 as a village corporation under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) of 1971.

KIC strives to pursue a diverse range of business interests and partnerships, and this has helped build a Native corporation focused on creating new opportunities for shareholders while preserving and promoting our traditional Inupiat values.
