Central Council acquires international contracting company

The Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska is doing something few tribal organizations do.
Earlier this month, June 15, the tribe acquired KIRA, Inc., an international maintenance contracting company. The Colorado-based entity has scored more than $1 billion in federal contracts, according to its documents.
