On June 21, 1972, The Aleut Corporation (TAC) was created as a result of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). Over the ensuing days and weeks, news of this historic event traveled through our rugged and windy islands as communities learned they were now shareholders of The Aleut Corporation. To honor the work that brought us to our 50th Anniversary, TAC embarked on a major endeavor to chronicle the creation of our corporation, document shareholders’ stories, and set the stage for TAC’s future.
