BBNC shareholders own thousands of allotments around the Bristol Bay region, totaling nearly 150,000 acres of privately-owned land. Although these allotments are privately held, the federal government retains trust obligations, complicating transactions but providing benefits such as tax-exempt earnings. Realty services are typically provided through Bristol Bay Native Association (BBNA).

The Land department uses Geographic Information System (GIS) tools to evaluate allotments based on conservation, economic potential, resources, and strategic importance, identifying promising acquisition targets. Interested owners can work with BBNA’s Land Management office to start the sale process, which often takes 1-2 years due to required appraisals or surveys.

BBNC has acquired six parcels to date, including recent purchases near Ekwok and Amanka Lake, supporting both conservation and economic development. Native allotment owners can contact BBNC’s Land department for acquisition inquiries.
