On behalf of our entire board and staff, I would like to thank everyone who participated in the annual meeting process. Although I wish we could’ve gotten together in person, I enjoyed discussing BBNC’s goals, future plans, and honoring BBNC’s shareholders of the year virtually.

Congratulations to incumbents Joseph L. Chythlook and Russell S. Nelson and new directors Wassiliisia R. Bennis (DeeDee) and Greta L. Goto, who were elected to serve three-year terms on the board of directors, ending in 2023. We would also like to thank Dorothy M. Larson for her 24 years of service and Karl Hill for his six years of service on the BBNC board. Their involvement and leadership has helped create a successful company that is dedicated to enriching our Native way of life.

We also would like to congratulate the 2020 Shareholders of the Year! Fanny Parker, Elder of the Year; Crystal Luckhurst, Citizen of the Year; Christina McDonogh, Student of the Year; and Nick’s Legacy owned by Wassillie and Sally Gumlickpuk, Small Business of the Year. We are proud of these shareholders and thank them for the valuable contributions they’ve made and the inspiration they provide to the Bristol Bay region.

Fanny Parker, originally from Togiak, is a BBNC and Togiak Natives Limited shareholder and member of the Traditional Council of Togiak. She is the daughter of Evon and Mary Aposik. Fanny lives in Togiak with her husband John Parker and has four children and many grandchildren. She has been a teacher in Togiak for the last 30 years teaching K-12 and Yup’ik and if you ask any of her students, they will say Mrs. Fanny is/was their favorite teacher.

Fanny spent three years mentoring teachers in the Southwest and western region of Alaska to try and limit the high turnover rate of teachers in rural Alaska, and also serves on the Togiak Natives Limited Scholarship Board.

Fanny also participates in activities and projects to preserve the Yup’ik way of life and language, most recently helping develop the “Yugtun” app, a language tool to teach others how to speak Yup’ik. She lives a subsistence lifestyle by hunting, fishing, berry picking, medicinal plant gathering and always takes the time to help people who want to learn, whether it be teaching them how to make fry bread, sew a qaspeq, bead, or subsist. Fanny loves her culture and is eager to pass it on.

ELDER OF THE YEAR: FANNY PARKER

CITIZEN OF THE YEAR: CRYSTAL LUCKHURSTCrystal Luckhurst, a BBNC and Choggiung Limited shareholder and member of Curyung Tribal Council, was born and raised in Dillingham by her parents Charlotte and the late Jimmy Nixon. She is married to Bert Luckhurst and has five children. Crystal received her undergraduate degree in psychology and sociology from Fort Lewsi Collge in Durango, Colorado and received a master’s degree in social work from the University of Alaska Anchorage.

She has worked for Bristol Bay Native Association for the past 18 years and as the Children’s Services Division Manager for the past 16. She works with others in child welfare to help families be safe and healthy by learning and practicing their culture and traditions.

Crystal is a strong advocate for social justice and is known throughout the region as a leader and a model of Native values. She has organized numerous Undoing Racism workshops in Bristol Bay and never misses an opportunity to teach others how to unravel historical trauma and find healing. She has opened her home and provides resources to children and people who are in difficult circumstances. Crystal, who lives a subsistence lifestyle, is known to build up and empower Native people and loves to share her knowledge of cultural traditions with anyone she meets.

Shareholders of the Year

Crystal Luckhurst

Wassillie and Sally Gumlickpuk, BBNC and Stuyahok Limited shareholders and members of the New Stuyahok Traditional Council, started a net hanging business in Dillingham a couple of years ago. Their business is Nick’s Legacy, named after the late Nicolai (Nick) Gumlickpuk, Wassillie’s father.

For more than 30 years, Wassillie hung and prepared commercial fishing nets with his late father and two sons, Constantine and Joshua, for both resident and non-resident fisherman in Bristol Bay. Fisherman from all over wanted Nick and Wassillie to hang their nets; sometimes they hung up to 150 nets a year.

When the Peter Pan net loft closed, Wassillie started Nick’s Legacy. He hangs nets in shipping containers outside of his house, while his wife Sally maintains the business logistics, including advertising, ordering business cards, writing invoices, and much more.

The philosophy of Nick’s Legacy is that of helping the fisherman of Bristol Bay. In the words of the late Nick Gumlickpuk, “Without nets, there are no fish; and without fish, there are no jobs”.

STUDENT OF THE YEAR: CHRISTINA MCDONOGHChristina McDonogh is a BBNC and Oceanside shareholder and member of the Native Village of Perryville. She is Suqpiag and the daughter of Patsy Shaha and maternal granddaughter of Irene Andrew. Christina earned her bachelor’s degree in music education from Wichita State University in 2011. While teaching in Anchorage, she was disappointed to recognize that many of the students who transferred from rural Alaska experienced a pattern of low-expectations from the education system that was the result of students being father behind than their urban peers.

To make the changes she believes the Native community needs, Christina decided to pursue her law degree at Cornell Law School in Ithaca, New York. She currently serves as the Public Relations Director of the National Native American Law Students Association (NALSA) and just finished her term as the Vice President of the Cornell NALSA. At the outset of COVID-19, Christina advocated for rural Alaska by publsihing articles, creating Facebook groups, and writing to lawmakers. In addition to her advocacy work, she designed and presented a set of “Know Your Rights” trainings for immigrants in upstate New York.

Christina attributes her success to her amazing husband who provides energetic support for everything she does and to her courageous mother, Patsy. She is also inspired by the self-sustaining ingenuity and resiliency of her family in Perryville. Christina is glad to finish her last year of law school from back home in Alaska, where she can get a head start on giving back to her community and to Native people.Christina McDonogh

Q: With the majority of shareholder jobs within BBNC subsidiaries being technical based, are there plans to enlarge the vocational education (VOC-ED) training fund limits or increase the budget?

A: Yes, the VOC-ED scholarship funds have been increased as BBNC and BBNC Education Foundation have both recognized the high demand technical based jobs and we will continue to look for opportunities to support those training programs so that more shareholders are able to work in non-degree required jobs.

Q: What are BBNC’s efforts in becoming involved in the Bristol Bay fisheries?

A: While BBNC is not in the Bristol Bay seafood business, we are involved with organizations in the fishery as a support network to promote and market a healthy Bristol Bay fishery, region, and shareholder base. BBNC also recently invested in the Bering Sea seafood business through our longline pacific cod operation and we will continue to study opportunities in the seafood sector.

Q: Other corporations give bonus distributions; why don’t BBNC shareholders get one?

A: BBNC distributed a special shareholder distribution in the mid 1990’s when we sold the Hilton Hotel. Since that time, BBNC has focused on a formal distribution payment policy to provide consistent, predictable, and increasing distributions to our shareholders every quarter.

Q: What is our corporation doing to help with substance abuse and homelessness?

A: BBNC provides financial support to non-profit and social service organizations both in the Bristol Bay region and across Alaska so that these facilities are able to continue providing the specialized services that our shareholders, family members, and loved ones need.

Q: Can you explain why BBNC runs ads on television?

A: BBNC started running television, radio, and print ads to develop its own vision and future, and to articulate what we believe is important to the Bristol Bay region and its residents. The ads have also been helpful in promoting ourselves with our business partners, legislature, and policy makers in Juneau and Washington D.C. People want to know what BBNC is all about and while we want to communicate that primarily to our shareholders, we also want to communicate that to the rest of the world. Our most recent advertising campaign, “More Than a Corporation,” is a reminder that we are not a traditional corporation. For some, the word “corporation” may have a negative connotation but imagine that the “C” in BBNC indicates something else entirely - “Courage,” “Community,” or “Culture.” We’re focused on both the bottom line, as well of the health and wellness of our people, our communities, and our cultures.

Comment: I want to say thank you for helping our Bristol Bay communities during the COVID-19 pandemic by providing hand sanitizer, face masks, cleaning supplies, and more!
