Tyonek Lands ~ Corporation Lands

Under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971, TNC is entitled to receive title to the surface estate of 193,515 acres. Its Regional Corporation, Cook Inlet Region Inc., will receive the sub-surface estate

TNC has selected nearly all of its acreage. All selections are reviewed by the State of Alaska Bureau of Land Management. Once approved, the State grants Interim Conveyance, and after the land is surveyed, with surveyed and confirmed in-holdings withheld, the State grants a patent, or final conveyance. To date, TNC has received interim conveyance or patent to 73,222 acres.

TNC lands are rich in renewable resources that are vital to the Athabascan subsistence lifestyle, including wildlife, berries, and fish. A short distance from TNC's selected lands, the Cook Inlet Region generally is rich in oil and gas, the world-famous Beluga coal fields, and bountiful timber resources.

The TNC Board of Directors and Management are preparing for inevitable development on the West Side of Cook Inlet - development that will have significant impact on the Tebughna people, their small village, and their historical and cultural way of life. Chief Executive Officer, Tom Harris, is positioning the corporation to both protect its people from negative consequences of development, and to take advantage of such development for the benefit of the people and their Corporation. Please see Resource Development for more details on this important issue, and check back periodically for updates from Mr. Harris.
