Board Corner

My father, Gosta Dagg (Yup’ik), was born in 1939 in Anchorage.

I was born on the Yukon River at Nulato and lived most of my life in Anchorage. It was a fellow CIRI Shareholder, Donald Watson, who encouraged me to get involved with CIRI (then Cook Inlet Native Association).

When I joined the CIRI Board of Directors in 1977, John Colberg served as Board Chair.

In 2021, CIRI conducted an in-depth survey to assess the thoughts and opinions of Shareholders and Descendants related to certain aspects of our corporation, including whether to open our rolls.

My name is Sam Spangler, and it is my honor to serve my fellow Shareholders and Descendants as vice chair of the CIRI Board of Directors.

My name is Tom Huhndorf. I am Yup’ik and an original CIRI enrollee. It has been my honor to serve on the CIRI Board of Directors since 2004.
