OPPORTUNITIES & BENEFITSCultural Initiatives

At BSNC, our unique culture and heritage as Alaska Native people drive everything we do. Our culture sustains and guides us. We live our culture every day through the foods that we eat, the stories we tell and the values we share. We embrace the responsibility to support cultural revitalization efforts.

For these reasons and others, BSNC is pleased to share the following award-winning cultural initiatives to celebrate and support shareholder and descendant artists, dancers, writers and knowledge-bearers. We actively work to expand our cultural offerings to our shareholders and find new ways to celebrate and honor our traditions and Our People because our rich, strong culture deserves to be shared with everyone. If you have any questions or ideas you’d like to share with us, please email media@beringstraits.com.
