CHUGACH EDUCATION SERVICES, INC.
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA

We are the people of Prince William Sound and lower Cook Inlet. Today, our shareholders’ lifestyles vary widely. Some live a traditional subsistence lifestyle, while others are skilled craftspeople, college graduates or business professionals. They all share at least one trait, however: a dedication to their common heritage. With the support of our shareholders, Chugach Alaska Corporation’s cultural resources department is actively working to identify and preserve the archeological resources of our region through site visits and careful documentation. Chugach Alaska Corporation works with Native tribes of the Chugach region to implement the provisions of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. We support the repatriation of our ancestors and Native cultural heritage. As the seasons changed from year to year, the ice melted rapidly, exposing deep fjords and lagoons that were rich in sea life and provided good beaches to settle on. It was known that life thrived in the areas where the salt and fresh water met. Who We Are Chugach Alaska Corporation was formed in 1972 under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). Instead of the reservations used extensively in other parts of the United States, ANCSA established a system of corporate ownership of assets to ensure long-term profitability and financial independence for Alaska Natives.
