Chugach Alaska Corporation (CAC)
In 1971, Congress significantly departed from its established federal Indian policy by enacting the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). Instead of the reservation system, used extensively in other parts of the United States, a system of corporate ownership of assets was developed to ensure long-term profitability and financial independence for Native Alaskans. Chugach Alaska Corporation (CAC) was formed in 1972 as an ANCSA Corporation. A nine member Board of Directors, elected from more than 1,900 shareholders, directs CAC’s management team. The Board, all of whom are Alaska Natives, selects the President and is assisted by an experienced and qualified managerial staff with responsibilities for the day-to-day operations of CAC and its subsidiaries and joint ventures.
