Quyanaq to Drake Construction for providing these photos of NANA’ s newest office buildings making their way to Kiana, Noatak, and Buckland.
e are excited to share that new NANA offices in Buckland, Noatak, and Kiana are opening soon! These milestones would not be possible without the vision of our board of directors and the incredible support and collaboration with our subsidiaries, NANA Construction and Kuna Engineering, as well as our communities, shareholders, and partners. NANA extends a special thanks to Drake Construction, who is helping us transport and deliver each of our office buildings safely to their destinations across our region.
Kiana’ s new village office building has arrived in the community, site work is completed and ready for installation. We were thrilled to celebrate the grand opening of our new office in Buckland on Sept. 24, 2025. The Noatak office building is currently staged at Nimeuk Point outside of Kotzebue and is set
for a 2026 winter / spring shipment and 2026 installation.
This means nine out of 10 buildings are on track to be completed this year.
Thanks to the collective efforts of so many, we are one step closer to reaching our goal of having a new NANA office in every village across our region. These local offices represent more than just buildings. They are investments in the future of our people and our communities. With each new office, we are strengthening local infrastructure, supporting business operations within the communities, providing accessible services to shareholders, and creating spaces that encourage connection, growth, and opportunity.
Together, we are building a stronger, more connected NANA region, one step at a time.
