Company History

Tyonek is and has been home to many generations of Alaska Native people—people who are part of the Athabascan region of Alaska. Tyonek is a name, a place, and carries an identity all its own.

The Native Village of Tyonek, with a population approximately 130, is located only 40 air miles south of Alaska’s largest city, Anchorage, with a population of about 300,000. The people of Tyonek are part of and speak an Athabascan dialect called Dena’ina.

In 1968, the leaders of Tyonek’s supported and helped fund the Alaska Federation of Natives who spearheaded the passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) in 1971. In 1973 and under the agreements set forth under ANCSA, Tyonek formed Tyonek Native Corporation and it then became a federally recognized Alaska Native Corporation. While starting out small, the Corporation has since branched out to create and include many successful subsidiaries and businesses.
