The NANA Awards are our way of recognizing individuals for their contributions to our people, communities and corporation. Do you know an Elder, youth, NANA shareholder, small business owner, active or veteran military personnel, or a non-shareholder who deserves to be honored with a NANA award? Nominate them today! The nominations deadline has been extended to Thursday, Feb. 9. Nomination forms are available at NANA’s front desk in Kotzebue and Anchorage and can also be downloaded at nanatkut.com. You can also nominate individuals over the phone by calling (800) 478-3301 or (907) 265-4100. In the villages, please call your shareholder relations coordinator.

The future is bright, especially in Shungnak and Kobuk!

Shungnak-Kobuk Community Solar Battery Independent Power Producer was recently named as a grand prize winner of a sunny award from the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office. The solar farm located in Shungnak was also named best project of the year in 2022 by Solar Builder magazine.

The 225-kilowatt microgrid collects solar energy to be turned into electricity. Tribal governments in the villages own the electricity, which they sell to Alaska Village Electric Co-op (AVEC). Not only does this create revenue for the communities, but it allows AVEC to periodically shut off the diesel powered generators used to provide electricity to the two villages.

Together with NANA and AVEC, the Northwest Arctic Borough is working on a long-term strategy to bring all Northwest Arctic communities renewable energy and independent power producer operations, where the tribes are making their own energy.

Aaquuraqpauraq Larry Westlake Sr. of Kiana has been selected by the NANA Board of Directors as its Elder advisor. He also serves as chair of the Regional Elders Council and is a member of the Kiana Elders Council.

Larry has been a living example of the Iñupiat Iļitqusiat all his life. He is a subsistence hunter as well as fisherman and spent many years mushing dogs and mining throughout the region. He has been married to his wife, Christina, since 1959. She served as chair of the NANA Board of Directors from 1989 to 1996.

Larry believes sharing is one of our most important values. “We grew up with sharing everything we have. We just have to bring our culture back and use some of these important guidelines that we grew up with.” Larry leads by example, sharing his resources as well as his traditional knowledge. He teaches young people about hunting, outdoor survival, and the importance of perpetuating the Iñupiaq culture.
