Headquartered in Kotzebue, KIC was formed in 1973 as a village corporation under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) of 1971 to enrich the lives of our Iñupiaq shareholders and descendants.
KIC is an Alaska Native corporation focused on creating new opportunities and services for our almost 2,000 shareholders, while preserving and promoting our traditional Inupiat values.
The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Kikiktagruk Inupiat Corporation (“KIC”) will be held on Thursday, October 2, 2025, at 6:30 P.M. (registration begins at 5:30 P.M.) at the Kotzebue School Cafeteria. The meeting is for the following purposes:
- To elect two Directors; and
- To conduct any other business which properly comes before the meeting.
KIC encourages all shareholders to vote either by proxy or in person.
Join me in congratulating Thomas Baker who has been promoted to the position of Vice President of Kotzebue Operations for Kikiktagruk Inupiat Corporation. For the past four years Thomas has held the position of KIC Lands Manager and Operations Manager of KIC Construction LLC. Thomas is a KIC Shareholder descendant and was born and raised in Kotzebue where he continues to reside. Thomas will be responsible for and have commensurate authority for providing direction and leadership to KIC’s Kotzebue-based operations.
Let’s Make KIC the Best it Can Be and continue to Create Shareholder Value!
