SECTION: Shareholder Spotlight
n a way, Brad Osborne owes
his life to the Cold War. If
it weren’t for the political
and military tension between
the United States and Russia,
Osborne’s father would never
have found himself in Kotzebue,
stationed at the Air Force radar
station, a Cold War base that
shut down in the late 90s. The
Air Force limited tours of duty
at the base to a single year due
to the perceived psychological
strain and physical hardship
of the remote location, but that
short amount of time was long
enough for Osborne’s parents
to meet and fall in love. When
his father was transferred to
Florida, his Iñupiat bride went
with him. The young family
moved around a bit, as Air
Force families typically do,
but they returned to Alaska in
1978 where Osborne bounced
from Fairbanks to Anchorage
to Valdez, spending holidays
and summer breaks with his
mother’s relatives in Kotzebue.
With strong ties to his home
region and extended NANA
family, taking a job with NANA
was a natural step for Osborne,
who was hired as an accounting
intern 12 years ago while
attending the University of
Alaska Anchorage (UAA). When
he graduated he became a fulltime accountant and it wasn’t
long before people inside and
outside of NANA took notice of
his intelligence and work ethic.
In 2003, he was even named one
of Alaska’s Top 40 Under 40, an
annual award from the Alaska
Journal of Commerce honoring
up-and-coming young leaders.
Since then Osborne has
moved up through the ranks
at NANA quickly, and was
named as president of NANA
Oilfield Services this past July,
just a few months before he
traveled to Hollywood, Florida
to receive another Top 40
award. This one was presented
by the National Center for
American Indian Enterprise
which recognizes “existing and
emerging American Indian
leaders under 40 years of
age who have demonstrated
leadership, initiative and
dedication to achieve impressive
and significant contributions in
their businesses, communities
Paula Octuck:
Mother, dancer,
shareholder
Paula Octuck is on the job in Kotzebue
to help other shareholders find
employment.
P
aula Octuck remembers
the day she walked
into Kotzebue’s NANA
Museum of the Arctic and her
life changed. She was 10 and
happened upon a group Eskimo
dancing. Octuck joined in and
has made dancing, embracing
her culture and her corporation
a part of her life ever since. The
graceful, rhythmic movements
of the dancing and the crosscultural exchange that took
place in the museum continue
to positively affect her life.
“I was not only dancing, I
was demonstrating the blanket
toss and generally introducing
people to the NANA region,”
she says. “I feel that my
experience there gave me not
only the full understanding
of the Iñupiaq values but the
ability to reach out to people of
2
HUNTER
different cultures, wear mine
proudly on my sleeve and gain
confidence in public speaking.”
Now, at age 32, Octuck
leads an admittedly hectic
schedule as mother to five
children under the age of 10,
including baby Andrew who
is just eight months old, and
as stepmother to her partner,
Frank Sheldon’s, five children.
On Dec. 28, 2011, she added
Human Relations Generalist
for NANA Management
Services to her resume.
“I enjoy helping people get
to work and keeping them
motivated to be in the work
field rather than relying on
other means like the many
free programs available here
in the North. Even if people
are unable to leave their
hometown or go to school,
you can find a career building
hands-on experience here.”
Octuck remains active with
Eskimo dancing in whatever
spare time she can carve out,
and helps organize fundraisers
and performances all over
the state, including at the
Barrow Whaling Festival
and the Alaska State Fair.
Busy but ambitious, Octuck
also plans on returning to school
in the fall to obtain her degree
and continue to use her
education to contribute back to
community, whether it be by
growing within NANA or
branching out into other things.
“I’m not going to take my degree
and run out of the region,” she
said. “To me, the nice part about
being a shareholder is being a
part of a corporation that just
gives so much back to its
communities and abides by
Iñupiaq values; being a
shareholder influences you to
follow those values as well to be
successful.”
and to Indian country.”
“That was a great
experience,” admits Osborne
who traveled to the September
award ceremony with his
wife. “It was such an honor
to go down there and be
recognized. Sometimes you
don’t realize what you are
doing, and the importance
of what you are doing.”
Osborne describes his
leadership style as “a very
inclusive team approach. I
have an open door policy and
even if someone doesn’t report
to me they can come in and
talk,” he said. Getting used to
his new role as president has
presented a few challenges,
like learning to delegate more.
“My instincts are to dive right
in and get things done, but I
am learning to adjust to my
new role as president and let
others take responsibility, which
creates trust on the team.”
Leadership itself is a skill
that changes and evolves with
each new challenge, Osborne
says. Although some leadership
skills are innate, he believes,
what you do with the
circumstances you are given
allow you to progress in that
role. Osborne’s advice for those
just starting out is simple.
“Work hard, don’t be impatient,
have a good attitude, work
with others, and listen,” he
says. “You learn a lot from
listening and that’s something
I’m teaching my children today.
Everyone wants to chime in but
listening really goes a long
way.”
Listening and teamwork are key to NOSI president Brad Osborne’s leadership.

As NANA continues to
develop its natural resources for
long‑term shareholder benefit,
we recognize the importance
of balancing economic growth
with our subsistence way of
life and the Iñupiat Ilitqusiat.
Our region is rich with natural
resources, like the fish we
catch, the berries we pick, the
animals we hunt and the energy
and minerals we explore and
develop. There are also cultural
resources and traditional
hunting grounds that are part
of who we are as a people.
NANA’s dual mission of
protecting our traditional
Iñupiat lifestyle and land, and
responsible development of our
resources is carried out in part
by the Natural Resources
department. Natural Resources
is currently looking for an
environmental specialist to be
part of our team. From field
projects to literature research,
the environmental specialist is
an entry-level professional who
will work closely with the
environmental manager and
scientists on the front lines of
NANA’s existing and emerging
development projects. Interested
shareholders must have a
bachelor’s degree in engineering,
geosciences, natural resources,
or a related area from an
accredited institution, or be
enrolled in a related degree
program with equivalent
education and experience and
share NANA’s vision of
responsible development.
Interested, qualified
shareholders should apply at

NANA's New Vice President of Shareholder Relations
Gia Qimatchuq Hanna, NANA Regional
Corporation vice president of shareholder
relations.
A
sk Gia Hanna, NANA’s
new vice president of
shareholder relations,
to talk a bit about herself and
you probably won’t hear her
mention her love of quilting
and John Grisham books, or
a skin sewing book she picked
up recently. But you’re certain
to get an earful about what
matters more to Hanna than
anything else - her family. She’s
more at ease talking about their
accomplishments than her own.
She’ll tell you about her
remarkable mother, Lena
Suuyuk Hanna, who recently
graduated from the University
of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) at
the age of 70 with a certificate in
Native Language Education and
works full time as a bilingual
coordinator for Iñupiaq studies.
She’ll mention her daughter,
Clara, a student at Mount
Edgecumbe High School and the
reigning Miss Teen Arctic Circle
who’s applying to Stanford,
San Diego State, Gonzaga,
Columbia and won the 2012
Joan Hamilton American Civil
Liberties Union (ACLU) Scholar
award. Or, she’ll brag the way
good mothers inevitably and
allowably do about the successes
of her sons, Dana and Ryan.
Dana’s about to give Gia her
first grandchild in May, and
Ryan’s a full-time student at
University of Alaska Anchorage
(UAA) pursuing a degree in
construction management.
Although all are living
elsewhere, Hanna swears that
there’s rarely more than a day
or two that goes by when she
doesn’t talk to each of them. She
even describes her relationship
with her brothers and sisters,
"now that we've gotten older
we tend to rely on each other
more, we are a very close family
– I credit my mom for that."
Times were never easy when
she was growing up in Kotzebue
with her eight brothers and
sisters, but that may be what
made the familial bonds that
much stronger. She remembers
walking to the school in order to
take a shower and scoring her
first job – as a dishwasher at the
old Nullaġvik hotel – when she
was only 13. Even back then the
legal working age was 14, but
Hanna says her manager didn’t
seem to mind. “’Don’t worry,’
he told me, ‘by the time they
figure out you’re 13 the summer
will be over’,” she recalls.
He was right. Hanna came
back to work at the hotel that
next summer and ended up
spending 15 years working for
the NANA-managed property,
moving up from dishwasher to
waitress, gift shop manager,
restaurant manager, assistant
manager and finally general
manager of the hotel.
Her experience moving
up through the ranks served
her well. She has advised her
daughter to spend her summers
working in customer service to
learn invaluable people skills
that sitting behind a desk will
not impart. Her leadership
style also reflects her history of
teamwork. “I still say the most
important job in an organization
is the person answering the
phone, and I believe that,”
Hanna says emphatically,
“I’ll never say I’m anyone’s
boss. We all work together.”
Tasked with reaching
out to and assisting NANA’s
shareholders in many areas,
Hanna is delighted to serve her
community through her work.
“What is NANA? NANA is its
people and the people we serve
and it is so important that we all
work together,” she said. “The
last six years I’ve spent a lot of
time at camp with my own kids,
and until you do that you don’t
really understand how it makes
you feel. We’re not just Native
by blood; it’s that connection
with our land and our people
that makes us who we are.”
NANA Regional Corporation
Community & Government Affairs
NANA’s Community and Government Affairs department works with partners and government agencies on policies and legislation that impact the NANA region, our corporation or our shareholders. The team conducts
important outreach to federal, state and local entities like the 2010 NWALT Summit.
public policy liaison. “One of
the most important things we
do is monitor and take action
on issues and legislation
that impact, not just our
corporation, but our region.”
Working in this shareholder
group is also exciting for
Elizabeth Qaulluq Moore,
NANA’s community and
government affairs manager
and NWALT liaison.
“It is inspiring to work on
this team,” said Moore. “This is
why I came to work at NANA,
to work together to build a
better today and tomorrow for
our people. We’re not there
yet, there’s still much we
need to do. But, by working
together with our shareholders,
tribes and other regional
partners, we have our own
people out front on the issues
that affect our communities
and region the most.”
Currently, CGA is working
with members of the Alaska
State Legislature on two
significant pieces of legislation. The first would help tribes, city
governments and the school
district complete construction
projects in the Upper Kobuk
area that have been delayed due
to naturally occurring asbestos
in the local gravel source. The
second would create an oil and
gas production tax incentive
for onshore exploration of the
Kotzebue and Selawik Basins. Government affairs are only
part of the CGA department’s
focus. The Office of Village
Economic Development (VED)
is also part of the group. VED
is committed to working with
regional, state and federal
partners to create a sustainable
regional economy. One tool
they are using is the VED grant
program. This program awards
grants of up to $55,000 to NANA
region communites for economic
development initiatives.
“It’s not easy to build a
business in our region,” said
Dean Westlake, director of
village economic development.
“There are unique challenges
to overcome, like shipping
and fuel costs. That’s why
NANA is working with the
tribes and cities to invest in
our communities. We’re all
working hard to strengthen
the overall regional economy,
one village at a time.”

SECTION: NANA Timeline
The First 40 Years 1972-2012
This timeline tracks NANA business operations from the
first in-region enterprises to our expansion into the Lower
48 and beyond.
It began with the land. In the 1960s our Alaska Native
leaders banded together to fight for the rights to
ancestral lands. They navigated through complex legal
and political terrain to reach a settlement.
In 1971 Congress passed the Alaska Native Claims
Settlement Act (ANCSA). The bill transferred 44 million
acres of land and roughly $1 billion to Alaska Natives.
Under ANCSA, Alaska was divided into 12 geographic
regions. A 13th regional corporation was formed for
Alaska Natives living outside the state.
In 1972 NANA Regional Corporation was formed. Alaska
Native corporations are unlike any others—with the dual
role of cultural preservation and business development
on behalf of their shareholders.
Alaska Federation of Natives forms in October, when more than
400 Alaska Natives, representing 17 Native organizations gathered
for a three-day conference to address the Alaska Native aboriginal
land claims.
Northwest Alaska Native Association (the precursor to NANA)
was founded to help the Iñupiat people from northwest Alaska
settle the Native land claims issues in Alaska. This non-profit
organization became an advocate for Native issues, including
health, housing and political rights.
1968
Oil was discovered in Prudhoe Bay on Alaska’s North Slope.
1971 ANCSA
Congress passed the Alaska Native Land Claims Settlement Act
(ANCSA). The bill transferred 44 million acres of land and roughly
$1 billion to Alaska Natives.
1972
NANA Regional Corporation, Inc. (NRC) was formed. Alaska
Natives from the northwest corner of the state who were born
before December 18, 1971, could enroll in the new corporation.
NANA built the Nul-luk-vik Hotel in Kotzebue.
Nul-luk-vik in Iñupiaq means a place to stay.
NANA owned 11 businesses—from construction to hotels and
apartments, to fuel sales, catering, security services and
reindeer herding. For the first time, NANA earned a net profit:
$476,800.
1976
In 1974 NANA Development Corporation was formed as
the business arm of NANA.
Ten of the 11 ANCSA village corporations in the NANA region
voted to merge with NANA. Kotzebue remained as its own village
corporation, Kikiktagruk Iñupiat Corporation (KIC).
1970s
Our first businesses focused on providing in-region
services and employment opportunities to shareholders.
NANA incorporated our Iñupiaq values in
how we conduct our business.
1980s
NANA companies were formed to provide job
opportunities for shareholders through companies
that served the oil industry. We also started to lay
the groundwork for developing Red Dog Mine.
1977 The Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline was completed.
1990s
Multiple NANA businesses supported Red Dog Mine
operations. We formed partnerships in the engineering
and hotel industries and entered the federal contracting
arena.
2000s
Federal contracting services expanded dramatically.
2010s
NANA continued to expand both geographically and into
new industries.
NRC Board
NANA is a shareholder-managed corporation that is
guided by a board of directors. The board is made up of two
shareholder board members from each NANA village (with
the exception of Kotzebue with one board seat) and two
at-large seats. These 23 board members and an Elder advisor
are selected by their peers to direct NANA and its management on the path to fulfill our mission. The NANA board
understands that they are making decisions that will affect
future generations of our shareholders.
NDC Board
Of the 23 NRC directors, a subset of nine members is elected
by the entire board to serve as NDC directors. These nine
also serve on NANA subsidiary boards. Based on direction
provided by the board, NANA companies deliver on NANA’s
mission to improve the lives of our shareholders through
our shared success.
Robert Aqqaluk Newlin Sr
., from Noorvik,
was elected NANA’s first chairman of the board.
1978 NANA paid its first dividend to
shareholders: 50¢ per share.
1980
John Schaeffer Jr. became the first executive director of
IÑUPIAT IOITQUSIAT
NANA Regional Corporation, Inc. The position title was later changed
to president.
1974 NANA Development Corporation
(NDC) was formed as the
business arm of NANA.
William L. (Willie) Hensley was named
president of NANA Development Corporation.
Iñupiat Ioitqusiat program was started.
Ioitqusiat means “those things that make us
who we are,” which, to the Iñupiat, means
our language, our values, our traditions, and
our ways of being.
NANA selected a 120 square-mile block of land underlying the
Red Dog Mine area.
NANA held its first annual shareholders’ meeting on April 17, 1974.

SECTION: Proxy Voting Information
How To Vote
Introduction
At the NANA Annual Meeting on March 12, 2012, shareholders have the opportunity to vote
for the board representation they want. By turning in a proxy ahead of time, shareholders are
able to make their vote count, even if they can’t come to the meeting. Voting by proxy also
means shareholders who do come to Selawik for the meeting can spend their time participating
and visiting.
Each voting shareholder was mailed a proxy packet containing their proxy and voting
instructions. These instructions – How to Vote, How to Vote by Paper Proxy and How to Vote by
Online Proxy – are reprinted here for your information and convenience.
This year, NANA shareholders are able to vote their proxy online. The online votes count just
the same as paper proxies or in-person votes. Online voting must be completed by 5:00 p.m.
(Alaska Standard Time) on Friday, March 9, 2012.
This is also the deadline for proxies to be faxed or mailed to Mikunda Cottrell. NANA will also
accept proxies in person at the registration desk prior to the close of registration. No faxed
proxies can be accepted at the Anchorage or Kotzebue offices of NANA or at the school in
Selawik.
If you have any questions about voting your proxy – either on paper or online – please contact:
Mikunda, Cottrell & Co.
(907) 278-8878
Or
NANA Shareholder Relations
(907) 442-3301
(800) 478-3301
How To Vote
IMPORTANT
Deadline to vote online, by mail or by fax is 5 p.m. Alaska Standard Time on March 9,
2012. Paper proxies will be accepted at the annual meeting, but if you wait until the
meeting to turn in a proxy you will not be entered into the proxy prize drawings.
DO I NEED TO VOTE A PROXY?
Your proxy will identify the total number of votes you have for the 2012
Proxy. Read the candidate information in the Proxy Statement and choose
the candidate(s) you believe will best serve you best on the NANA
Regional Corporation Board of Directors or just mark the candidates.
Each year, NANA has an Annual Meeting. At this meeting, NANA conducts
an election of Directors. This is the time of year when shareholders decide
who will serve them on the Board of Directors. Not all shareholders are
able to attend the Annual Meeting in person. Shareholders who are unable
to attend or want to turn one in early are allowed to turn in a proxy.
I am voting for one candidate
WHAT IS A PROXY?
I am voting for more than one candidate
A proxy is a form that authorizes the Proxy Holders to vote your
shares for you in the way you have indicated. All shareholders are
encouraged to send in their proxy, or complete one online even if they
can attend the meeting and just want to enjoy the discussion.
WHAT IS A PROXY HOLDER?
Each proxy sent out by NANA designates three (3) Proxy Holders whose
job is to vote the proxies in the exact way the shareholders marked
their proxies. For example, if a shareholder sends in a proxy and marks
Candidate A, then the Proxy Holders vote those shares for Candidate A.
HOW SHOULD I SIGN MY PROXY?
Don’t forget to sign and date your proxy, and mail it in by the
deadline! You should sign your proxy as the name appears on the preprinted proxy you received in the mail. If your name is incorrect because
of a marriage, divorce or other reason, please send a Change of Name or
Address form found on www.nana.com/forms to Shareholder Records.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T CHOOSE A
CANDIDATE(S) ON MY PROXY?
The current Board policy states when a proxy is turned in and it has not
identified a candidate, the votes represented by the proxy will be divided equally
among all the candidates. For instance, if there are five candidates, and the votes
represented by the proxy total 100 votes, then each of the five candidates would
receive 20 votes each. This means that votes represented by the proxy do
not affect the election of directors. If you turn in your proxy without identifying
who you want to vote for, you will not help decide who is elected because your
vote will be equally distributed among all candidates. The Board of Directors
encourages you to vote for the candidate(s) you want to represent you.

HOW DO I VOTE FOR CANDIDATES?
HUNTER
If there is one candidate for the Board of Directors that you want
to vote for, take the number of votes identified on your proxy and
enter that number beside the name of the candidate or just mark
the candidate and all of your votes will go to him or her.
If there is more than one candidate you’d like to vote for, divide
your total number of votes any way you want between those
candidates.You can also mark the candidates you want to vote
for and your votes will be divided equally among them.

SECTION: Continuing History
Roswell Schaeffer Sr. welcomed young NANA shareholders
R
oswell L. “Ross” Schaeffer
Sr. of Kotzebue says it
was a matter of luck
and timing that his tenure as
president of NANA Regional
Corporation came when he
could lead the initiative to add
young people as shareholders.
“I felt it was the most
important thing NANA could
do for our people,” he said.
Prior to NANA shareholders’
vote to add descendants,
those born after passage of
the Alaska Native Claims
Settlement Act of 1971 could
only become shareholders if they
inherited or were gifted stock.
“I felt that if we didn’t
include the young people, how
could we get these young folks
to be our leaders?” he asked.
“It wasn’t original with me.
Robert Newlin’s dream was
to make sure young people
were included. He had it in
mind. John Schaeffer had it
in mind. I just came at a time
when it could be passed.”
Schaeffer, also known as
Qalayuaq, is now retired and
working as an artist. He came
to the NANA presidency as
a man well versed in Iñupiat
traditions and culture. Born
on Aug. 21, 1947, the sixth of
John W. and Annie Schaeffer’s
12 children, his father taught
him hunting skills, and his
mother insisted that their
children get an education.
After completing seventh
grade in Kotzebue, Schaeffer
attended what was then the
Copper Valley High School
near Copper Center. After
graduating from high school,
he attended the University of
Alaska and earned a bachelor’s
degree in sociology with a
social work emphasis.
He worked as a magistrate
for seven–and–a–half years and
then as a district court judge
for six months before accepting
the presidency of NANA in
1990. Battling health issues
that have since been resolved,
he stayed only two years.
Not long after he became
president, Schaeffer and other
NANA leaders, including thenChairperson Christina Westlake,
spent more than a year–and–a–
half traveling the region, the
state and the Lower 48 to
meet with shareholders about
the need to add young people.
Their efforts culminated in a
vote on March 18, 1991, at the
annual shareholders’ meeting in
Kotzebue. By an overwhelming
margin, shareholders
voted to grant shares to
descendants born after 1971.
Writing in a joint message in
the 1990 NANA annual report,
Schaeffer and Westlake urged
support for the measure.
“Probably the most important
decision you, as a shareholder,
will have to make in this new
decade is whether to include all
Natives (NANA descendants)
born after December 18, 1971,
as NANA shareholders. The
inclusion of these young people
in our regional corporation is
an extremely important one
that will ensure that we have
continuity in our quest for
future leadership to guarantee
that NANA will survive for
future generations. When the
time comes for each of you to
vote on this issue, we ask each
and every one of you to make
your vote count to include these
young Natives as shareholders.”
While it was a lot of work
and involved a lot of travel,
Schaeffer said there was never a
doubt in his mind the initiative
would pass. “Even though we
understood it would dilute our
shares, people supported it.”

Qalayuaq, former NANA Regional Corporation president, with one of his works of art.
What’s interesting to
reflect on now, Schaeffer
said, is that NANA dividends
are higher than anyone
imagined they ever could be.
“Little did we dream
our corporations would be
so successful,” he said.
He reflects on his 19901992 term as NANA Regional
Corporation president as a
short period of time, but one
long enough to ensure NANA
took a critical step. He believes
if NANA had not added young
people as shareholders, there
would be little incentive for
young people to get involved.
Schaeffer said the decision
was not generally contentious,
even though the change would
reduce the amount of money
each shareholder received in
dividends. He said sharing is
one of the enduring Iñupiaq
values, so it was natural for
people to make a decision
that would benefit others,

Since his retirement in 2006,

hunting culture using his own
observations and ancient
teachings; this reverence for the
animals and culture shine
through in his work.
