Today marks the 54th anniversary of our parent corporation, Arctic Slope Regional Corporation. We extend our gratitude to ASRC leaders who had the vision and determination to make our organization a reality. We are humbled to play a small part in delivering sustainable value to our more than 14,000 Inupiaq shareholders. Here’s to future success!

Today, we celebrate ASRC’s 54th anniversary since incorporating in 1972.

One of 12 land-based Alaska Native regional corporations, ASRC was established under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971 (ANCSA)—federal legislation that resolved legitmate aboriginal ownership of our ancestral homelands.

While the North Slope was the only region to oppose ANCSA, once enacted, our early leaders took action to build the foundation of our Corporation. They traveled door-to-door across the North Slope to enroll our original Iñupiaq shareholders.

By staying true to our Iñupiaq values and culture, ASRC has grown from three operating companies in Utqiaġvik to a nationwide presence spanning all 50 states, delivering sustainable value to our more than 14,000 Iñupiaq shareholders.

Quyanaqpak and taikuu to our past and present leadership for building ASRC with vision, resilience and a lasting commitment to our people.

This Father's Day, we want to take a moment to recognize the fathers in our ASRC Federal family. To every dad, stepdad, grandfather, mentor, and father figure in our workforce and communities: your impact reaches far beyond what you may realize. We wish you a meaningful and well-deserved Father's Day.
