Lands
We balance sustainable development with protection to ensure our lands benefit Shareholders and future generations.
CIRI’s Land Department
Our lands are the heart of who we are.
Lands ground our identity, sustain our communities, and serve as the living foundation for our culture, our traditions, and our future.
As stewards, we carry both a privilege and a responsibility: to protect and respect these lands, to ensure they remain healthy and resilient, and to manage them in a way that honors our ancestors while preparing for the generations yet to come.
CIRI exists to provide long‑term value and opportunity for our Shareholders and their Descendants. Thoughtful land management allows us to support economic growth, create meaningful benefits, and ensure that our Shareholders continue to thrive.
Land Use
Access CIRI Lands for recreational activities or commercial purposes with proper permitting. Our system ensures responsible stewardship while providing opportunities for Shareholders, Descendants, and the general public to enjoy these natural resources.
Resource Leasing
Partner with CIRI for oil and gas exploration opportunities in Cook Inlet, where we’re Southcentral Alaska’s largest private landowner. We offer strategic positioning and flexible incentive options designed to encourage aggressive new exploration and development.
Trespass
Help protect CIRI’s natural resources by reporting unauthorized land use through our incident reporting system. We work in partnership with Shareholders, neighbors to monitor our land holdings and ensure proper stewardship of these valuable resources. Your observations help us maintain the integrity of CIRI lands for future generations.

CIRI prioritizes Shareholder and Descendant subsistence activities in certain areas; however, some land management units are accessible for non-shareholders who hold the appropriate State license, if one is required for the desired activity, through the Recreational Use Permit system. Administrative fees are required for non-shareholders.
No. CIRI permits only authorize use of or access to CIRI land. Some of CIRI’s land parcels are adjacent to Village Corporation or other privately owned lands. You must contact the appropriate Village representative or other landowner directly to secure approval to access their lands.
