Ikaagun Engagement specializes in building orientations and learning experiences tailored specifically for your team/project, both in-person and virtual. Typically geared for outside organizations visiting or working in Alaska these experiences allow your team to learn about the history and deep context in which you are stepping into. Education and awareness not only teaches folks about local and historical context, it also provides guidance and increases the confidence of your team to take the initiative to engage in proper ways with entities and people of Alaska.

Find creative ways to utilize local expertise and build local capacity

Our business is very careful to work with projects that not only mean well, but seek to make tangible positive impacts on communities. Arctic research is an industry that people in rural Alaska can potentially be much more involved in. Ikaagun Engagement seeks to build awareness and further create opportunities and build capacity for local people in villages across Alaska to not only lead and be involved in research, but also provide logistical support that otherwise may go to out-of-state contractors. 

Lead with respect

Everything Ikaagun Engagement does, we try to do it in the most respectful and considerate manner. This is ingrained in the advice and guidance we provide to clients. The only way people survive and thrive in the Arctic is to set aside differences, respect your fellow community members, and communicate in respectful and timely ways. We  honor that tradition and it helps things run as smoothly as possible.
