Three Saints Bay is a 9-mile (14 km)-long inlet on the southeast side of Kodiak Island in southern Alaska, North of Sitkalidak Strait. It is 97km (60 miles) southwest of Kodiak. Three Saints Bay was the site of the first Russian settlement in Alaska in 1784 by Grigory Shelikhov. The bay and settlement were named after one of his ships. The settlement of Three Saints Bay was moved to the site of present-day Kodiak, AK in 1792 when an earthquake and tidal wave destroyed it. The archaeological site was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1978.
About Us
Three Saints Bay, LLC is an Alaska Native Holding Company owned by Old Harbor Native Corporation headquartered in Manassas, Virginia.
Our Company History
Preserving and Protecting the Culture and Traditions of the Old Harbor Native Community
Old Harbor Native Corporation (OHNC) is one of 252 Native village corporations established by Congress in 1971 under the terms of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA).
ANCSA, which was a purposeful alternative to the Lower 48 reservation system, was the first settlement of its kind between Native Americans and the federal government. Alaska Natives were provided a corporate structure for holding land and capital, with the freedom to control their own economic and social future.
OHNC was incorporated in 1973 and originally enrolled 329 shareholders under the Act. Today, there are approximately 403 shareholders residing primarily in Anchorage, Kodiak, and Old Harbor, but some as far away as Iceland and Switzerland.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide economic assistance to the Native Village of Old Harbor; to advance the social, cultural, and professional aspirations of individuals of Old Harbor, our employees, and the communities in which we participate, by leveraging opportunities to create sustainable businesses in the federal market place.
