TEBUGHNA HENEK Tyonek Native Corporation Newsletter Spring 2016

Your management team has been working tirelessly to restructure our organization over the last several months. We have re-duced staff through termination and attrition and hired employees that are very well quali-

fied and committed to growing our busi-ness and to our shareholders. Manage-ment goal is to “Revitalize our Sharehold-ers” through a company that is growing and reinventing itself to become competi-tive in the 8(a), government and commer-cial marketplace. We are extremely close to closing on the Tyonek Services Operat-ing Facility-Stennis (TSOF-S) ASI facility located in Kiln Mississippi on the Stennis airfield. This acquisition was approved by your Board of Directors and will become a very critical component in combining our many capabilities into a value added ser-vice and manufacturing provider. We will be providing aircraft maintenance on C130, Dash 8, Cessna Citation, Learjet, King Air and other airframes. This entity will be a subsidiary of the Tyonek Services Group (TSG) operated under John Mathew and his team. We would like to include share-holders who are interested in learning to become an aircraft mechanic enhancing life skills. We have committed to opening two positions to our shareholders in our first training class. It will require a two year commitment in order to learn the trade and become part of the team in Kiln MS.

TNC has just submitted our 8(a) Participant Benefits Report for 2015. In it is a well writ-ten chronology of Tyonek and its rich and powerful history influencing the Tebughna, the State of Alaska and ANCSA. I am in-cluding the following narrative written by our legal team consisting of Heather Hud-son and Lisa LeBlanc for the benefit of anyone that is not familiar with the Tyonek story.

The tribal entity for the community of Ty-onek is the Native Village of Tyonek (NVT). NVT was organized in 1939 under a feder-al law called the Indian Reorganization Act. 25 U.S.C. 461 et. seq. Tyonek Native Cor-poration (Tyonek) is a state chartered, for-

profit business corporation that is a sepa-rate and legally distinct entity with no legal relationship to the Native Village of Ty-onek. Tyonek currently has 893 sharehold-ers. The original shareholders were all Native individuals from the Tyonek commu-nity. Through inheritance, Tyonek shares are now held by Native and non-Native shareholders. In 2005, Tyonek enacted a provision authorized by the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA), authoriz-ing the issuance of life estate stock to all descendants of original shareholders. Ty-onek has a nine-member Board of Direc-tors elected by the shareholders pursuant to state law.

Tyonek Community and Culture

Tyonek, Alaska, lies on a bluff on the northwest shore of the Cook Inlet, 43 miles southwest of Anchorage. The area encom-passes 67.6 square miles of land and 1.2 square miles of water. It is a Dena’ina (Tanaina) Athabascan community of about 166 people, known as the Tebughna, which means the “Beach People”. A feder-ally recognized tribe is located in the com-munity - the Native Village of Tyonek. Ninety-five percent of the population are Alaskan Native or part Native. The village is not accessible by road. The two main ways to travel in and out of the village are by plane or by boat, whichi s only available during the summer and fall seasons.

Captain Cook's journal provides a descrip-tion of the Upper Cook Inlet Athabascans in 1778, who possessed iron knives and glass beads. He concluded that the Na-tives were trading indirectly with the Rus-sians. Russian trading settlements were established at "Tuiunuk" and Iliamna prior to the 1790s, but were destroyed in dis-putes between the Natives and the Rus-sians. By 1840, half of the region's Indians died from a smallpox epidemic. The Alaska Commercial Company had a major outpost in Tyonek by 1875. In 1880, "Tyonok" sta-tion and village, believed to be two sepa-rate communities, had a total of 117 resi-dents, including 109 Athabascans, 6 "creoles" and 2 whites.

After gold was discovered at Resurrection Creek in the 1880s, Tyonek became a ma-jor disembarkment point for goods and people. A psaltery was established in 1896

at the mouth of the Chuitna River north of Tyonek at a location called Ladd.

In 1915, the Tyonek Reservation (also known as Moquawkie Indian Reservation) was established. The devastating influenza epidemic of 1918-19 left few survivors among the Athabascans. The village was moved to its present location atop a bluff when the old site near Tyonek Timber Camp at North Foreland, located five miles south of its present location, flooded in the early 1930s. The population declined when Anchorage was founded in 1915, but in-creased again after the epidemic. Chief Chickalusion gathered up families and indi-viduals from villages and settlements on the lower Susitna River (Deshka, Susitna Station, Kroto Creek) and from the lower Inlet (Kuskatan, Polly Creek) and resettled them on the reservation at Tyonek.

The reservation was originally established by Woodrow Wilson for educational and economic purposes. An old war depart-ment building was acquired and renovated after 1907 and served as the first village school. The reservation also served as an economic enclave for the Natives. The principal business in the Inlet was commer-cial fishing. Large national companies con-structed fish traps and individuals occupied set net salmon sites along the beaches. Unfortunately, federal marshals did little to protect Native fishing locations against increasing numbers of non-Native fisher-men. Many Natives from historic Native communities on the East side of Cook Inlet (Kenai, Nikishki) relocated to Tyonek to escape this pressure and the increasingly dangerous frontier atmosphere of their home villages.

Until the early 1990’s, commercial fishing during the short Alaska summer remained the main way village residents obtained cash for survival. By 1960, some village residents began getting experience in con-struction and later adapted those skills to the oil and gas drilling industry. However, most of these opportunities were limited by season and, again, heavy competition from drilling crews shipped en mass from Texas and Oklahoma. More recently, foreign fish farming so restructured the world salmon market. That commercial fishing in the

The 42nd Annual Meeting of the sharehold-ers for Tyonek Native Corporation has been set for May 14, 2016 in Tyonek, AK. The meeting will be held at the Tebughna School gym. The doors will open at 11:30 am and a light lunch will be served prior to the meeting. This meeting will report on the financial status of the company and elect

shareholders to fill three seats on the Board of Directors.

Election information for candidates interest-ed in running for a seat on the board of directors was sent to all shareholders who are 18 years and older on February 12, 2016. The completed candidate forms have

been received. Annual Meeting information will be mailed out the first part of April and will contain candidate information and an annual report on the operation/financial status of the company. Proxy forms for the elections are due to the Tabulator by no later than May 12, 2016.

Tyonek Native Corporation 42nd Annual Share-holder Meeting set for May 16, Saturday in Tyonek

upper Cook Inlet has become an expensive hobby. Unemployment rates in the village throughout this period of time have consist-ently exceeded 50% and more.

In 1965, the federal district court in Alaska ruled that the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) had no right to lease Tyonek Indian land for oil development without permission of the Indians themselves. The tribe subsequently sold rights to drill for oil and gas beneath the reservation to a group of oil companies for $12.9 million. Much of the present vil-lage, including the school and most of the

public buildings, were built with lease sale funds. The reservation status was revoked with the passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act in 1971. The Native people of Tyonek opted to receive land conveyances under the Act and organized the Tyonek Native Corporation in 1973 for that purpose.

The Tyonek Native Corporation was enti-tled to receive nearly 200,000 acres of land in and around Cook Inlet in the South Cen-tral region of Alaska based upon its original enrollment of nearly 300 Native sharehold-

ers. In May 2005, the shareholders of Ty-onek voted to expand the shareholder group to include descendants of original shareholders born after 1971. A new class of life-estate stock was issued to new shareholders, commonly referred to as “newborns.” Children receive 10 shares at birth and automatically are issued another 90 shares upon their 18th birthday. Life estate stock is surrendered to the corpora-tion upon the death of a shareholder and becomes available for issuance to other newborns. Tyonek now has 893 sharehold-ers 60% of whom are under the age of 30.

PRESIDENTS REPORT BY LISA CONSTANTINE Happy Spring Fellow Shareholders,

As we are coming up on the annual meeting May 14, 2016. I would like to reflect on the past year and bring you a bit up to date on the future planning session for this year.

We had a strategic planning session in April of 2015 with managers and the Board. Much of the strategic planning ses-sion focused on the business and how all of the entities can pull together and utilize the resources that we have to turn the com-pany around. Currently the management team is completing the acquisition of the Sellex Gailileo ASI facility in Stennis MS. It should be finalized by April 12, 2016. This acquisition is a game changer for the Ty-

onek Services Company, which took a big hit in 2015 with the loss of a couple of large contracts. With this acquisition we have decided to have our planning session on site at the new company airport hangers in Stennis Mississippi and traveling to Hunts-ville, Alabama from 4/18 to 4/22/16.

Another item on our 2015 goals was to use our land proactively in the coming year. A priority of this goal has been the 14(c)process which many meeting have been had in Tyonek, Anchorage and Soldot-na. The deadline has been extended to 6/30/16. Management has a soft opening planned for the lodge this season to utilize the property. Management is currently working with NVT to address the fire break around the village with the low snowfall this is expected to be a high fire season please be fire wise. Lastly the extension of the graveyard has been completed thank you

to the construction group for coordinating and completing the job with NVT.

The Board along with management is look-ing forward to working together in the plan-ning session to ensure that TNC has a vi-sion going forward that encompasses our core values to plan the coming year for TNC.

Thank you for your continued support of TNC. I hope to see a great turn out at the Shareholders meeting and I am open to any comments and suggestions you may have going forward.

Sincerely,

Lisa Constantine President Tyonek Native Corporation

DEADLINE EXTENDED FOR FILING 14(c) 1&2 CLAIMS

The application deadline for shareholders and other interested parties for claims under 14(c) 1 and 2 of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act has been extended until June 30, 2016. This action was taken to give potential claimants more time to research and submit claims if they occupied lands selected by Tyonek Native Corporation as of the date of enactment of the Act on December 18, 1971. Originally the conveyance process, which began in November of 2015 was to have ended on February 29, 2016. Notices were mailed to shareholders and public notices were placed in area publications. Any party interested in filing a claim can obtain an appli-cation from Tyonek Native Corporation, 1689 C Street, Suite 219, Anchorage, Alaska 99501, or by phone (907)272-0707, or email at lands@tyonek.com

TAG OPERATIONS UPDATE ALASKA GLASS AND DOOR Alaska Glass and Door located in the Matsu Valley is off to a busy start for the 2016 season with over 80 jobs bid so far this year. The company is wrapping up work on a large school construction project in the valley and is ramping up for work in the Anchorage Bowl on several projects. The overall forecast for the 2016 construction season in Alaska is expected to be lower than the robust sea-son in 2015 as the sharp decline in oil and reduced State revenue begins to take its toll on the economy. The Glass and Door opera-tion continues to see good activity around the State and is bidding several jobs in rural Alaska. Our focus for the year will be on close-ly monitoring the flow of business the Company has in its pipeline, making adjustments as necessary to meet the challenging eco-nomic downturn. NORTH FORELANDS DOCK AND BARGE FACILITY

No activity has taken place so far this year at the Dock Facility near Tyonek. The lack of activity is directly related to the slowdown in oil and gas production on adjacent lands. Several operators have curtailed or suspended operations as prices for their product have declined significantly. TAG will work to develop a marketing plan for the port in an effort to better promote the operation and build awareness among potential customers about the North Forelands strategic location. TYONEK LODGE The Tyonek Lodge which has not operated for the past few years will see a refreshment this season as TAG plans to refurbish the property and initiate a soft start in 2016. Interested parties have inquired about booking reservations during the silver salmon season. We are working with local guides to be ready for occupancy for interested anglers. Our plan is to employ local shareholders to help in the refurbishment which will include work to refinish the exterior of the buildings and deck systems, repainting and re-flooring the inte-riors, and completing an update to the kitchen and common areas. We plan to coordinate with the Native Village of Tyonek to utilize participants in their summer youth program to introduce them to hospitality management and customer service which will then train up a future workforce when the Lodge goes into full operation beginning in 2017. As with the Dock and Barge facility a marketing pro-gram will be developed to promote the Lodge and build occupancy for future years. NIKISKI FACILITIES

A large shop facility located in Nikiski will be put up for lease this summer. Nikiski is a strategic location for shipping resources from the Cook Inlet area and has been targeted as the port site for shipping of liquefied natural gas once those planned projects are in operation. The shop also has the potential to serve as a staging center for construction equipment for companies bidding work on the Kenai Peninsula. FIRE AWARNESS AND PREVENTION

Very little precipitation has occurred around Cook Inlet this past winter and as we move into spring we anticipate very dry conditions. The lack of snow cover is concerning and the potential for wildfires is high. We all remember the wildfires from a few years ago that threatened the community of Tyonek. It is everyone’s responsibility to be aware of the dangers of wildfire. Already four wildfires have broken out in the Matsu Valley and burn bans and restrictions have been initiated in several areas.

At Tyonek the TAG lands group is beginning work to construct a firebreak around the community with the first phase scheduled to be complete in early spring. Funding has been awarded by the US Department of Agriculture to help offset the cost of constructing the firebreak. Another phase has received funding that will be awarded in 2017. In addition another firebreak project is getting underway around the fuel farm at the airport in Tyonek. Trees and vegetation will be cleared adjacent to the tanks and the area cleared will greatly diminish the ability of a fire to reach the storage area. We are working closely with the Native Village of Tyonek in collaborat-ing and coordinating these removal projects. Tyonek Native Corporation will contract out the work to the Native Village of Tyonek ensuring that Tribal Members/Shareholders are benefitting from the project. Some of the trees cleared will be removed and chipped for use in the Tyonek Garden project. Please see the handy checklist that homeowners and others can use to help in being fire-ready:

MISSING SHAREHOLERS

Tyonek Native Corporation set up a group insurance policy through Principal Life In-surance Company for shareholders of the corporation. The intent of this policy is to provide financial assistance to sharehold-ers families for burial costs in the event of a shareholders death.

The amount of coverage is $100 per share, rounded up to the nearest 10 shares. A shareholder with 100 shares of stock is covered for $10,000. The actual amount depends on the amount of shares a stock-holder owns, up to a maximum amount of $20,000.

If a shareholder gifts all of his/her shares to

another individual or family member the shareholder gifting his/her shares is no longer a stockholder and is not covered under this insurance policy.

All shareholders 18 and older needs to designate a beneficiary. These form are available at the TNC office. If you do not have a currant beneficiary form on file the insurance payment will be paid to the legal heir(s).

When a claim is filed we would need an original death certificate and an insurance assignment signed by the heir(s). The in-surance assignment is a letter to the insur-ance company giving them permission to

pay the funeral home directly what is owed to them up to the coverage amount the shareholder has. The beneficiaries, legal heir(s) are responsible for all costs which exceed the coverage amount.

If you have not updated your will in a while and you had changes in your life please give TNC a call and ask who you have named on your TNC Stock Will.

Shareholders who own only Class B Stock do not need to do a Stock will. Class B Stock is a life estate which means upon the death of that shareholder, the stock is can-celled and returned to TNC.
