Living up to our name, Akima, we are committed “to win” with excellence for our clients and our shareholders.

Akima is owned by NANA Corporation. NANA was created under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) of 1971, legislation designed to resolve land claims, preserve native culture, and encourage long-term investment and self-sufficiency for Native Alaskans through a system of corporate ownership.

As an Alaska Native Corporation (ANC), the money our company makes has a direct positive impact on the lives of approximately 12,000 Native Alaskans who own our company. When you do business with Akima, you’re doing more than ensuring the success of your next business venture – you’re providing economic assistance to extremely disadvantaged people, helping create training and educational opportunities for Native Alaskan villagers, and increasing self-sufficiency for hard-working and resilient people.

The Iñupiat Eskimos and its subsidiaries live a subsistence lifestyle in remote areas of Alaska. They live off caribou, fish, and berries. Akima augments that lifestyle with its profits — all of which go to the Iñupiat Eskimos. Akima’s profits help them to pay the $12/gal for milk, the approximately $22/box for cereal, and the $30 for a box of laundry soap that each of the 11 villages’ small “general stores” have to charge to cover transportation costs — the typical story of 8(a) company ownership or impact of company success.
