About

[wce_code id=1]

The Institute of the North endeavors to understand the reality, richness and responsibility of the Arctic. We support Alaska’s role as a key stakeholder in policy affecting the Arctic. We stand at a pivotal place where local and state interests are advanced within a national and global landscape.

Alaskans understand the inherent challenges of living in the Arctic, but have found wealth in the quality of life and economic opportunity there. For Alaskans to thrive in the Arctic, there must be a foundation in place to sustain communities and drive development. A 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, the Institute of the North has gained a wide reputation as the Alaska Center for Arctic Policy.
