Alaska Native Corporation
The Organization
Cook Inlet Region, Inc. (CIRI) is one of twelve Alaska Native regional corporations created under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971 (ANCSA). Headquartered in Anchorage, CIRI represents approximately 9,500 shareholders of Athabascan, Inupiat, Yup'ik, Alutiiq/Sugpiaq, Aleut/Unangax, and Southeast Indian descent.
CIRI manages a diverse portfolio spanning aerospace manufacturing, energy and resource development, oilfield services, real estate, tourism, hospitality, telecommunications, and government contracting. Its digital presence needed to serve shareholders, stakeholders, subsidiaries, and the general public across all of these verticals.
The Challenge
CIRI required a web platform that could serve as both a public-facing corporate presence and a shareholder communications hub. The site needed to accommodate:
Multi-Subsidiary Architecture
Managing web properties for CIRI and its network of subsidiary companies
Shareholder Resources
Reports, dividend information, heritage resources, and land management updates
Heritage Sensitivity
Representing diverse Alaska Native heritage with dignity and accuracy
Content Scale
Publications, press releases, programs, and multimedia content library
The Solution
Architected and built the entire web platform in-house as the sole developer. Managed structured content systems and high-fidelity multimedia resources for CIRI and its subsidiary network. Key deliverables included:
- Corporate website management and ongoing development
- Subsidiary site coordination and brand consistency
- Multimedia content creation including photography for "As Seen in Our Region"
- Shareholder communication materials and digital distribution
- Integration of ANCSA land management and sustainability information
The Impact
A digital platform that honored decades of Alaska Native heritage while providing modern access to corporate resources for thousands of shareholders across Alaska and beyond.
