In recognition of the 40th anniversary of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, Channel 2 News (KTUU) announced it would air a series of reports throughout the year on Alaska Native Corporations and how they have evolved over the last four decades. The series kicked off with a three-part series on Koniag, Inc. The reports examine Koniag’s business operations, the struggles the corporation endured in the early years and the investments it is making in cultural preservation and the Kodiak economy.

The stories, by reporter Rhonda McBride, are posted here.
