BRISTOL BAY NATIVE CORPORATION

Bristol Bay Native Corporation is one of 13 Alaskan Native Corporations established under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. But, “Corporation” doesn’t fully sum up their role as protectors of their land, stewards of their resources, and guardians of their culture. Together, we created the “More Than a corporation” campaign, highlighting everything BBNC beyond the boardroom.

This campaign was a particular challenge due to the present COVID-19 pandemic. Given the historical context of the Spanish Flu’s disproportionate effect on Native people, it was particularly important to not put anyone at risk for production. As a result, we worked closely with BBNC, their shareholders, and Alaskan historical archives to collect elements used throughout the campaign. The result is a series of motion graphics-based work showcasing the beauty, people, and community of Bristol Bay.
