Alaska Native Industries Co-Op Assn, also known as ANICA, has a rich history dating back to the early 1900s when Native communities in Northwestern Alaska relied on hunting, fishing, and trading for survival. Established in 1947 by visionary village leaders, ANICA was founded with the goal of providing essential goods to village stores independently of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Today, ANICA continues to honor its founders' legacy by serving as a vital resource for Alaska Native communities, supporting local economies, and preserving cultural integrity through cooperative efforts and sustainable practices.
