Nana Regional Corporation Jobs

NANA Regional Corporation, Inc. (NANA) is a for-profit Alaska Native Corporation established in 1972 under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). Headquartered in Kotzebue, Alaska, NANA is owned by over 15,000 Iñupiat shareholders with roots in Northwest Alaska.

The corporation's mission is to enhance the quality of life for its shareholders by fostering economic growth, protecting and improving its lands, and promoting healthy communities.

This mission is guided by the Iñupiat Iḷitqusiat values, which include principles such as love for children, cooperation, sharing, hard work, and respect for elders.
