Our Shared Future
Your input will help align our collective values as shareholders and as a united people.

The Doyon Shareholder Survey will present questions about a Descendant Registry. This is a record-keeping system used by many Alaska Native corporations to stay connected with the children, grandchildren, and future generations of current shareholders, providing better support and benefits for future generations as we grow together. A Descendant Registry allows us to engage and prepare the future leaders of our communities through internships, training, and educational support.

Frequently asked questions
Doyon values the voices of shareholders and is launching a shareholder survey to ask for your input. It takes about 10-15 minutes to complete the survey, which will be open until Friday, October 31, 2025.
In this survey, Doyon is asking questions about a Descendant Registry. Survey feedback from other Alaska Native corporations highlights that many shareholders support Descendant Registry because it connects future generations to culture and heritage, ensures descendants have opportunities for education and employment, and helps prepare the next generation of leaders.
Completing the survey strengthens our collective voice as Doyon shareholders. Shareholder input helps guide Doyon’s decision making: the more responses received, the more informed Doyon is about shareholder priorities, which strengthens our shared future.
You can access the survey online by following instructions shared in both personal and public Doyon communications. To begin the survey, you will need to enter a PIN that Doyon shared with you directly through postcard, email, and text message, ensuring that your survey is secure and confidential.
