At the Anchorage Marriott on Sunday August 3rd, the Shee Atiká Board of Directors was pleased to award the Honorable Senator Mark Begich the 2014 William Paul Award for his support of Shee Atiká and its shareholders. Senator Begich has repeatedly supported efforts concerning Cube Cove, and to make permanent section 646 for Alaska Native Settlement Trusts.

The William Paul Award is bestowed periodically on an individual or group for outstanding service to Shee Atiká. It is named in honor of William Paul, Sr., for his contribution in helping form Shee Atiká. While the award bears his name, the honor is symbolic of all those who made significant contributions to Shee Atiká’s founding and continued development.
Shee Atiká would not be here today without the efforts of those individuals. This tribute also goes with the heartfelt appreciation of all Shee Atiká Shareholders!
