CIRI Ecosystem
Discover the network of Designated Tribal Organizations and community nonprofits that provide essential services, education, and cultural programs reflecting Alaska Native values.
CIRI’s Organizations
As outlined in ANCSA—and consistent with the Corporation’s mission—CIRI and its family of socially driven enterprises provide benefits to CIRI Shareholders, Descendants, and more than 70,000 Alaska Native and American Indian people in the Cook Inlet region and beyond. With cumulative Shareholder distributions exceeding more than $1.3 billion, CIRI remains committed to delivering meaningful, lasting benefits to its Shareholder-owners and their families.
CIRI is also dedicated to preserving and perpetuating Alaska Native heritage. Through our designated Tribal organizations, community nonprofits and foundation, we support access to education, housing, health care and social services for Shareholders, Descendants, and other Alaska Native and American Indian people living in the region.
