Fifty years ago, the Tatitlek Corporation was incorporated on Oct. 25, 1973. This milestone marks the collective success of TTC’s past and present leadership’s perseverance to accomplish our mission: to bridge the traditions of our village with global economic opportunity enhancing the quality of life for our people. Since then, TTC has grown into a multi-million-dollar enterprise, providing millions of dollars in dividends, elder distributions, burial assistance, scholarships, and lands and cultural preservation programs to our shareholders and descendants.
TTC’s success is also rooted in our close-knit and powerful relationship with the Native Village of Tatitlek. This relationship strives to preserve, enhance and promote our rich culture.
This fall, TTC will celebrate the resilience of our people, our families, our lands, and our Corporation. Please stay tuned for more details, and we look forward to seeing you at the event.
