Storyknife, March/April 2026 edition
The Calista Board of Directors formed the Shareholder Relations Committee (SRC) to meet with Shareholders face to face in their home communities. The SRC provides updates on Calista and other important matters. The committee visits 10 to 20 communities per year, weather permitting, and has held over 200 meetings since its creation in 2004.
So far in 2026, the SRC has held meetings in Akiachak, Bethel, Napakiak, Kwethluk and Napaskiak. Two other meetings were postponed due to weather.
This year’s SRC information updates have addressed Calista’s support to Shareholders impacted by Typhoon Halong, Shareholder distributions, internship opportunities, actions related to protection of subsistence rights, and more. At the end of the presentation, the SRC also invites questions and comments.
The SRC’s January meeting in Bethel included a community meal and a resource fair for Typhoon Halong survivors. About 160 people attended the meeting. Additionally, federal agencies joined the resource fair to answer questions and provide assistance to storm survivors.
Quyana to Orutsararmiut Traditional Native Council and Ayaprun Elitnaurvik School for co-hosting the meeting, and quyana to Greg Lincoln for providing the photos.
