CHANTILLY, Va., July 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Kadiak, LLC (Kadiak) of Anchorage, Alaska has been awarded a Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) contract to provide tribal court assessments across rural Alaska. The contract award is Kadiak's first with the BIA.
The tribal court assessments will analyze the needs of tribal courts and function as a tool BIA can use to determine funding allocations based on tribal court needs throughout Alaska. With 229 federally recognized tribes in Alaska, the assessments will be a vital tool in assisting tribes as they work toward self-governance.
It was important to the BIA that the contract awardee understand the logistical challenges and cultural differences in Alaska as compared with tribes located in the lower 48 states. Fortunately, the Alaska based Kadiak team is comprised of nearly all Alaska Native Americans. In addition, Kadiak qualifies as an IEE company, as the company is Alaska Native owned and the President, Gordon Pullar, Jr., is an Alaskan Native enrolled member of a Federally recognized tribe.
Mr. Pullar stated "The Kadiak team is excited to support tribal courts in our home state by working closely with tribal leaders. As a tribal member, I see the importance of tribal sovereignty and am eager to help tribal courts succeed." Koniag CEO Liz Perry noted that "it is a testimony to the skills and dedication of our Alaska Native and Koniag Shareholder leadership that the Kadiak team was able to win a competitive award so soon after the formation of the company. We are very excited about this contract and the future of the company."
