Building with Purpose

Technology that Connects, Protects, and Endures

We get the people part right and plan for the long term from day one.

As a subsidiary of an Alaska Native Corporation, our purpose is unique. Koniag was incorporated under the 1971 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) to steward the land and assets of the Alutiiq people from the Kodiak Island region in perpetuity.

We invest in and operate our business through sustainable financial practices and resource management to be able to support this mission.

Our approach to business, relationships, and community is anchored by one of our core values - Planning for the Long Term.

What makes us, us.

We are resilient optimists and believe we’re in a period unlike any other in human history. Through the lens of a secure Human-AI Partnership, we create and deliver deeply purposeful technology. That’s the bar: Technology so good, the humans using it feel truly grateful.

What guides us

To understand what guides Koniag Tech, we invite you to understand who we are as people and in business. What we do helps everyone. Our Shareholders, Descendants, employees, customers, and business partners all benefit from how we conduct business, every day, year, and decade.
