Doyon, Limited is one of the thirteen Native regional corporations established by Congress under the terms of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA).
With the land entitlement of 12.5 million acres, Doyon is the largest private landowner in Alaska and is one of the largest private landowners in North America. Our lands extend from the Brooks Range on the north to the Alaska Range on the south. The Alaska Canada border is our eastern border and the western portion almost reaches the Norton Sound.
Voting shares of stock were originally issued to 9,061 Alaska Natives who had a tie to our region. In March 1992, shareholders approved giving stock to Native children born between 1971 and 1992, missed enrollees and Elders who were age 65 by December 1992. Today we have over 14,000 shareholders. Our headquarters are located in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Doyon's mission is to continually enhance our position as a financially strong Native corporation in order to promote the economic and social well being of our shareholders and future shareholders, to strengthen our Native way of life and to protect and enhance our land and resources.
