Candidates for Election
James Craig
“Hello, my name is James Craig (Kaakáa). Grateful for your time and support. I humbly ask for your vote. My grandparents are the late Anita Duncan (Wright) and Arthur Gamble. My mother is the late Arlene Gamble. I live in South Dakota with my partner Sarah to be close to her homelands and family. I have been serving on the board since 2017.
Very pleased of the work we have done together to improve the way Shee Atiká does business and interacts with Shareholders. I am grateful for Shee Atiká providing me with scholarships to obtain my undergraduate and graduate degrees. Having grown up in Sitka, I can understand many of the unique opportunities and obstacles our people have. By listening to all of you, my colleagues and I helped nudge forward the creation of shareholder internship program, the MySheeatika portal, online social media presence and option for (hard copy) newsletters to be mailed to shareholders. Increasing shareholder hire has been an area of improvement since ANCSA first began and is a priority of mine. The more we support our shareholders and their goals, the more successful we will be overall.
Aside from promoting economic growth and contributing to dividends, I’ve endorsed transparent board meeting minutes and attendance, subscribing to board communication platform (OnBoard) to increase security and protect corporate information, and a moderate company rebranding with an emphasis on the future. With our leadership’s support, I stood before the Federal Subsistence Board during Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) gatherings to speak on behalf of the herring. A couple of years back we were able to finalize our mission and vision statements to help guide our businesses and motivations going forward. Much of our work will never end, as we will strive to analyze, reflect and reposition. Gunalcheesh!”
Brendan Desjardin
“I am writing to express my interested in joining the Shee Atika Board of Directors. With a background in project management, and a master’s degree in business management, my experience aligns well with the objectives of the SAI Board. As the grandson of Alfred George Perkins, former chief of the Kiksadi Clan, I have a personal interest in serving my native family and community.
Throughout my career, I have cultivated a diverse skill set that enables me to contribute effectively to board discussions and understand shareholder concerns. For the last 14 years I have worked in the oil and gas industry which has given me insights to how the State, large Corporation, and Native Corporations interact and engage each other. This has given me a comprehensive understanding of organizational dynamics, financial oversight, and stakeholder engagement. My current role as a Project Engineer has me involved in multiple areas of large-scale projects that benefit many different organizations and stakeholders. This experience has showcased my ability to implement and maintain strategic planning initiatives successfully.
I am particularly interested in cultivating ways to benefit all Shee Atika shareholders through existing resources and developing paths to expanding resources for future benefit. The first step down this path will start with engaging communities and understanding their needs. I believe effective leadership is not only driven by financial success but by emphasizing social responsibility and sustainability.
As a board member, I would bring a collaborative drive and commitment to decisions considered by the board. I am eager to contribute my experience and education to support the boards mission and objectives. Joining the board would provide and invaluable opportunity for me to serve my community while leveraging my skills and experience to make a meaningful impact. Thank you for your consideration.”
Kim Essendrup
“With experience founding and operating successful businesses, I am eager to offer my skills and insights to support the long-term success of Shee Atiká. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of helping organizations achieve meaningful results, grow sustainably, and create value. I believe these experiences have prepared me to contribute positively to the corporation’s continued success.
My background in entrepreneurship, business strategy, and delivering strategic initiatives delivery positions me to support Shee Atiká in further strengthening its portfolio of healthy, sustainable companies. By focusing on strategic growth and operational excellence, I aim to ensure the corporation not only sustains but grows shareholder value for generations to come.
If elected, I will bring a commercially minded perspective to the Board, emphasizing innovation, accountability, and clear communication. I am passionate about supporting Shee Atiká’s mission and honoring our rich cultural heritage while fostering opportunities for future prosperity.
It would be an honor to serve you and work collaboratively to build a brighter, stronger future for all shareholders.”
Jarrod Galanin
“Dear Shareholders, my name is Jerrod Galanin, and my Tlingit name is Lkheinaa, bestowed upon me by my great-grandfather, George Benson. I am L’uknax.ádi and Kaagwaantaan yádi. Born in Sitka, Alaska, I now reside in Anchorage with my wife and three children.
As a self-employed Tlingit artist, I specialize in formline design and silver engraving. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching and sharing our cultural arts, collaborating with various organizations, including corporations and government agencies. My experiences, supported by grants from entities like Shee Atiká, have provided me with a unique perspective on preserving and promoting our heritage. This journey has offered insights into effective strategies and areas needing development to support both current and future culture bearers.
I believe my business acumen, cultural knowledge, teaching experience, and lifelong connections will be valuable assets to the board. I approach challenges with creativity, have successfully managed my own business, and value humility and diplomacy. Listening and learning from diverse perspectives is essential, especially in today’s world.
My primary goal is to leverage my experience to support the board, ensuring our community has the resources to flourish while honoring our cultural values.
Our culture is vibrant and beautiful, and I would be honored to contribute to continuing our traditions and fostering healthy growth for current and future generations.
Gunalchéesh! (Thank you!)”
Steve Karpstein
“My name is Steve Karpstein. My parents are the late Bernadine McGraw Karpstein and Carl Karpstein, and my grandparents are the late Zenia Hanlon McGraw and Donald McGraw Sr. of Sitka. I am Aleut and I was born and raised in Sitka, AK. I am seeking re-election to prioritize shareholder interests.
As the current board chair, I focus on the well-being of each shareholder and the future of our corporation. I bring extensive international and domestic business experience, knowledge, and skills to the boardroom to assist in decision making. Our success requires an open, honest, and trustworthy board and our values, mission, and vision are central to our boardroom function.
In my first term, we made progress in several areas, including:
- Building shareholder and community partnerships
- Partnering with other Native organizations
- Strengthening the partnership between the board and management
- Increasing contributions from operations to the Trust for enhanced shareholder benefits
- Increasing shareholder benefits and community donations
- Creating the Katlian Bay Land Use committee
- Launching Sheet’ká Treetop Adventures in Sitka
- Planning an internship program for 2026 to offer learning and professional opportunities to the next generation of shareholders
We will continue to listen to shareholder concerns and perspectives. By building strong, strategic partnerships, we can chart a path forward, ensuring sustainable growth and benefits for shareholders and the communities we live in.
The current board and management have collaboratively refocused our direction, creating opportunities for success. I will continue to lead with fresh ideas, balance, and business acumen to drive sustainable growth and preserve our lands, culture, and heritage for all generations.
I am dedicated to building a stronger corporation for all shareholders and their descendants. It is an honor to serve as a board member, and I humbly ask for your continued support and trust. Gunalchéesh”

Norma Perkins
“Hello fellow Shareholders! My Name is Norma Perkins and I humbly ask for your vote. I was born and raised in Sitka and am the daughter of the late Raymond Perkins and Rosalie Perkins, adopted daughter of the late Lucille Perkins, and granddaughter of the late Mary Perkins. My father, Raymond, served on the board in the 1980s and early 1990s. I am thankful that I am able to follow in his footsteps in support of our shareholders.
I hold a BA degree in Business Administration and successfully worked over 34 years at Sitka SEARHC Hospital. I held various senior management positions, including being promoted to Hospital Administrator. I have been able to apply my executive knowledge and experience throughout all aspects of my work in the board room, which has proven very exciting and rewarding.
I am currently Board Secretary and Governance Committee Chair (formerly Partnership), and strongly advocate for transparency throughout all aspects of our corporation. This was a promise I made when I first ran as an independent candidate. I worked diligently to establish a manual of best practices which holds the board and management team accountable in fostering healthy working relationships. Our committee’s work has established processes and procedures that focus on trust, respect and commitment.
With board Chair Steve Karpstein and President & CEO Tim Castro’s guidance, we built a stellar executive team which has the professional prowess to continue to grow our corporation. I attribute the growth to the board’s effective and open collaboration in working with management, and to the strong caliber of Shee Atiká’s dedicated employees.
Thank you for believing in me and in our earlier independent movement for a transparent, respectful and prosperous corporation. I continue to work towards enhancing our shareholder relations so that all shareholders are respected and heard.
Gunalchéesh!”
Martina Ruhle
“Koon suw géi, yoo xat duwasaakw. Kiks.ádi aya xat. Kaagwaantaan yádi xat sitee.
My English maiden name is Martina Strand and my parents are Martin Strand, Sr. and Marcia Strand. My late father was Eagle Nest House and my mother has been adopted into the Kiks.ádi Clay House of Sitka.
Growing up in Sitka, it was an honor to learn about my Lingít culture through Elders who taught at the Sitka Native Education Program (SNEP) and the Gajaa Héen Dancers, with a commitment to excellence. This Lingít Wisdom provided a steady rudder for me after leaving Sitka to attend college and in pursuit of my paralegal career. If elected as a Board member, I’d like to propose the same steady rudder to steer shareholders interested in serving Shee Atiká, but still keep their traditional culture, by relying on our Lingít Wisdom.
Over the years, I’ve seen Shee Atiká rely on those that are well-versed in the “corporate world” in hopes of making our corporation successful. But, from the outside, I see a corporation that is now adrift, without a rudder, producing diminishing shareholder dividends.
This is where I see a need for our Lingít Wisdom, like an indispensable rudder on a boat: without it, we will not be able to control our direction. I am proposing we steer Shee Atiká by providing our shareholders a teaching venue for the corporate world, so that shareholders begin to feel connected to their own corporation, by building trust through knowing. Just as I was taught at SNEP, it is through the passing of our Lingít Wisdom that we can hold ourselves accountable to our culture and to generations yet to come. Let’s rely on our Lingít Wisdom for the strength of Shee Atiká’s future.
Please vote for me. Gunalchéesh.”
James Wilkins
“My name is James (Jim) Wilkins. I was born and raised in Sitka.
My parents were Connie (See) and Robert Wilkins. My mother was adopted by Mary Marks of the Kiks.ádi (Raven-Frog) clan, Se’e Hit (Clay House).
After graduating from Sitka High School in 1982 I attended Shoreline Community College in Seattle for business management. Specializing in restaurant management, as my parents owned the Safe Harbor Inn on Mt. Edgecumbe and Harbor Inn in Sitka. I also attended University of Alaska-Southeast in Sitka.
I have been a flight attendant for Alaska Airlines for more than 36 years. I have worked on various committees with our flight attendant union in roles such as contractual grievance, and chaired EAP and professional standards committee.
Prior to Alaska Airlines, I was an auditor for Westmark Hotels at the former Westmark Shee Atiká and was a contract negotiator for our union and employees at the hotel.
I believe that the board has a fiduciary responsibility to ensure that shareholders have a strong, financially sound corporation to leave to our children, grandchildren, and all future generations to come, while honoring our ancestors.
It would be my honor to represent you on the board, work to continue to stabilize Shee Atiká’s future financially and culturally. While working to ensure you have fair representation and a voice in our boardroom. I would be grateful for your trust and vote.”
VOTE ON SHAREHOLDER RESOLUTION 2025-01 TO APPROVE ESTABLISHING THE SHEE ATIKÁ LAND TRUST AS A SETTLEMENT TRUST UNDER ANCSA
The Board of Directors of Shee Atiká, Incorporated has voted unanimously to submit Shareholder Resolution 2025-01 for a YES/NO vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. SHAREHOLDER RESOLUTION 2025-01 provides as follows: “Resolved that the Shee Atiká Land Trust shall be established as an ANCSA Settlement Trust effective June 28, 2025.“
The purpose of the Shee Atiká Land Trust (“SALT”) is to provide permanent protection of Shee Atiká’s surface estate lands at Katlian Bay, Alaska (the “Katlian Lands”) against sale or encumbrance. The new state road being built into the Katlian area makes this protection an absolute priority. The Katlian Lands consist of approximately 3,000 surface estate acres which were conveyed to Shee Atiká in the mid-1980s. If Shee Atiká’s shareholders approve the establishment of SALT as an ANCSA Settlement Trust, the Katlian Lands will be conveyed to SALT soon thereafter. Other real estate owned by Shee Atiká could also be placed in SALT and protected.
Shareholder Resolution 2025-01 will be adopted if a majority of those voting on the Shareholder Resolution 2025-01 vote “YES.” Each share of SAI voting stock will have one vote. Cumulative voting will not apply to the vote on Shareholder Resolution 2025-01. Because it is not known as of the date of this Proxy Statement how many shares of SAI Stock will vote upon Shareholder Resolution 2025-01 or will even be present at the Meeting, it is not possible to say how many shares of SAI Stock will have to vote in favor of Shareholder Resolution 2025-01 to approve SALT as a Settlement Trust.
If SALT is approved, the Beneficiaries will automatically receive the same number of Trust “Units” in SALT and in the same Class as they hold shares of SAI Stock and the only transfers of Trust Units are those which are permitted for SAI stock such as death transfers and gifts to family members. If funds become available to the SALT Trustees, benefits could be provided to the Beneficiaries in accordance with the Trust Agreement. These funds could become available to SALT through future cash contributions by Shee Atiká to SALT, or could come from the Trust activities such as leasing the Katlian Lands back to Shee Atiká. The benefits that the Trustees could provide to Shee Atiká’s shareholders if funds are available include a cash distribution benefit similar to the cash distribution benefit provided currently by SAFE, educational and funeral benefits similar to those provided by SABT, and/or elders benefits. The benefits provided by SALT are not intended to replace the benefits provided by SAFE and SABT, and are instead, intended to provide flexibility as to how these benefits are made available to Shee Atiká’s shareholders. Whether these benefits are provided and the amount will be decided by SALT’s Trustees. These categories of benefits are independent of each other, and a SALT beneficiary must satisfy the qualification requirements for a specific type of benefit to be eligible to receive that benefit.
The Directors of SAI will be Trustees of SALT, just as the SAI Directors are the Trustees of SAFE and SABT and the Directors of SAIL. SALT will pay reasonable meeting fees to Trustees and reimburse their expenses incurred in performing their duties as Trustees, except to the extent that SAI is paying meeting fees for a director meeting on the same day.
The Trust will continue forever unless action is taken to terminate SALT which requires approval of 2/3rds of the Trustees and of a majority of the Trust Units. If this happens, the assets of SALT such as the Katlian Lands return to SAI. The Trust can be modified with approval of 2/3rds of the Trustees and approval of a majority of the Trust Units voting on the proposed change. However, in no event could a proposed change permit the Trustees to sell or otherwise dispose of the Katlian Lands.
The assets of SALT are generally not available to SAI’s creditors or to the creditors of the Beneficiaries. In certain limited circumstances set forth in ANCSA, the assets of the Trust may be available to SAI’s creditors at the time the assets are transferred to the Trust if adequate assets are not left in SAI to satisfy those debts. Those who may become creditors of SAI after assets are transferred to SALT will not be able to reach those assets in the Trust. The Board intends to leave sufficient assets in SAI so that the Trust’s assets are unavailable to SAI’s creditors.
The investment policy and use of SALT assets including the Katlian Lands would be established from time to time by the Trustees. The Trust Agreement allows the funds of the Trust to be invested in common with any other funds for which Trustees are also fiduciaries, so long as adequate records are maintained as to the different fiduciary funds.
SALT’s Trustees and officers will have liability if they do not discharge their duties to the Trust in accordance with the respective standard of care. The Trust Agreement provides that Trustees are conclusively presumed to have satisfied this standard in certain circumstances, including (a) relying in good faith on outside advisors (such as attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, and money managers), (b) making good faith estimates of the Net Cash Income for distribution, and (c) relying in good faith on the genuineness of a document. These listed circumstances are not the only circumstances in which Trustees will be conclusively presumed to have met the standard of care. The Trust Agreement further provides that SALT and SAI would indemnify all Trustees and officers to the extent Trustees and officers meet the respective standard of care described above.
Annual tax returns and financial statements would be prepared for the Trust. In the discretion of the Trustees, summaries of these financial statements would be provided to the Beneficiaries at the same time as SAI’s audited financial statements are sent to the Beneficiaries.
No dissenters’ rights are applicable to the Trust, except as may be required by Alaska state law in the event of a transfer of all or substantially all of SAI’s assets to the Trust. This means that dissenters’ rights are not applicable on either the establishment of the Trust or the anticipated transfers to fund the Trust.
DISCUSSION OF THE ADVANTAGES TO THE TRUST
- Protection From Corporate Creditors. The assets of the Trust are not generally available to the creditors of SAI. This is an important protection, because it means that the assets of the Trust should not be impacted by what may happen in the future to SAI.
- Tax Savings. If the Trustees distribute funds to Beneficiaries to provide benefits, the distributed earnings of the Trust are generally subject to only one level of tax at the Trust level. The Trust will pay tax on its income at 10% (0% with regard to long term capital gains), and Shareholders/Beneficiaries will not pay any tax on any Trust earnings that are distributed to them.
- Permanence. The Trust can be made to last for a long time, perhaps forever. Specifically, the Trust will last until such time as both the Trustees and the Beneficiaries take action to terminate the Trust.
- No Business Operations. The Trust is prohibited by ANCSA from operating as a business. This should serve to reduce the possibility that the assets of the Trust will be lost through poor management. The Trust Agreement also contains this prohibition.
DISCUSSION OF DISADVANTAGES TO THE TRUST
There are potential disadvantages to Settlement Trusts which shareholders should consider.
- $2,000 Per Year Safe Harbor.
Presently the first $2,000 received from a Native Corporation may not be used in determining eligibility to receive certain need-based federal benefits, such as food stamps, educational assistance, Medicaid, and Aid to Dependent Children. ANCSA requires that an “interest in a Settlement Trust” is not to be considered in determining eligibility, but it is not clear whether either this provision or the $2,000 provision protects the benefits provided by a Settlement Trust (including cash distributions). Legislation is pending in the Congress to make clear that the first $2,000 of benefits (including cash distributions) should be excluded from the recipient’s income when determining eligibility for need-based federal programs; however, it is uncertain whether this legislation will be taxed, and therefore shareholders should assume that distributions from the SAI Settlement Trust will be included in determining eligibility for need-based federal programs. - Corporate Needs. Once financial assets (but not the Katlian Lands) are placed into the Trust, those assets cannot be returned to SAI. This is because the Trust is irrevocable under the terms of Trust Agreement. This is an advantage of the Trust, but may also be a disadvantage to SAI to the extent that the assets in the Trust will not be available to SAI in the future. The Katlian Lands will be returned to SAI if the Trust terminates and may be utilized by SAI pursuant to a lease between the Trust and SAI, if the Trustees decide to enter such a Lease. The Board intends to retain sufficient assets in SAI so that SAI can conduct its operations following any contributions into the Trust and so that in all events SAI will be solvent.
