The Chignik Lagoon Native Corporation would like to address some land concerns that recently have surfaced on social media. The following statements are a clarification to our shareholders regarding land use on Chignik Lagoon Native Corporation lands only.
In the past, our corporation has held contracts with bear guides, allowing them the use of our lands to hunt bear only. CLNC does not allow the use of their lands to hunt any other wild game.
Currently, the Chignik Lagoon Native Corporation does not have a contract with any guides, as the past contract expired in June 2022.
The CLNC Board of Directors considers themselves and the shareholders stewards of our lands and has stated this in our strategic plan. Also, previously stated in our newsletters, we are still considering land conservation easements to protect and preserve the lands for the shareholders.
We encourage interest and leadership in the protection of responsible land use. The following link is for those interested in serving on an advisory committee for the State of Alaska Board of Game.
Additionally, please contact the Wildlife Refuge in King Salmon to address concerns with subsistence and sport hunting on federal lands cited in the social media posts.
