What Old Harbor Native Corporation does

Old Harbor Native Corporation (OHNC) is a privately held Alaska Native village corporation established in 1971 and incorporated in 1973 under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA), one of 252 such corporations created by Congress. Headquartered in Anchorage with offices in Old Harbor and Kodiak, OHNC serves as the economic and cultural arm for the Alutiiq community of Old Harbor on Kodiak Island, with a mission to provide economic and educational empowerment while perpetuating cultural pride and self-determination. Its shareholder base is permanently closed under ANCSA rules, with shares transferable only through inheritance or gifting.

The corporation operates as a diversified holding company with revenue streams spanning a balanced securities investment portfolio, real estate holdings in Anchorage, Denali, and Kodiak, government contracting via Three Saints Bay LLC (formed 2002), equipment leasing through 51%-owned Delta Leasing, and land use licensing on Sitkalidak Island and surrounding lands for fishing, hunting, camping, and recreation. In 2026, OHNC established Old Harbor Investments (OHI) as a dedicated holding entity and acquired a 51% stake in Specialized Transport and Rigging (STR), a heavy-haul logistics company; it also launched Alaska Nuna Adventures for adventure tourism. Other subsidiaries include Kodiak Microwave Systems, Sitkalidak Aquatic Farms, Nuniaq Patrol, and a minority stake in PozzSource Holdings (formerly Geofortis), a natural pozzolans producer.

Monetization is primarily through investment income, government contracts, license fees (e.g., $150-$300 for fishing, $2,000-$3,000 for bear hunting), equipment leasing, and subsidiary operating income. Shareholder benefits include dividend distributions, scholarships via the Old Harbor Scholarship Foundation, and a $10,000 death benefit through the OHNC Settlement Trust. The corporation markets to shareholders through the myOHNC portal and shareholder relations department, and to land use customers through online self-service applications. OHNC reported 251-500 employees and does not disclose revenue.
