Who We Are
Our vision is to grow, preserve, and give without boundaries. Discover the opportunities and culture of Choggiung Limited.
Our Story
Choggiung Limited is a village corporation formed under the Alaska
Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). Owned by its shareholders,
Choggiung is the largest village corporation in the Bristol Bay
region. Choggiung’s family of shareholders has grown from its
initial enrollment of 1,049 to more than 2,400 as a result of
inheritance and gifting.
We are Yup’ik and Aleut people
with ancestral ties to this unique land, known for its abundance
of salmon, in Southwest Alaska for thousands of years. Choggiung
derived its name from “Curyung”, a Yup’ik word loosely translated
as the point where the clean and muddy waters meet. This was the
name given to the point of land, later known as Dillingham, which
provided access to both the Wood and Nushagak Rivers.
Our Vision
To grow, preserve, and give without boundaries.
Our Mission
To be a profitable corporation ensuring current and future
shareholder benefits as we protect our land and respect our
people and heritage.
