Kake, population around 800, lies on the northwest corner of Kupreanof Island about 30 air miles from Petersburg. Basically stretched along one three-mile road, Kake has modest homes, several trailer parks and a smattering of down-home- looking businesses, including a small teen arcade-hangout, two small groceries and a restaurant.

Kake Tribal Corporation’s prime focus is logging, with growing interests in fisheries, and plans to diversify into commercial construction, contract road building and bioremediation of polluted real estate

The corporation currently employs around 200 people. Kake Tribal is one of four local entities that controls and directs the economy of the town, along with the City of Kake, the federally recognized local tribe known as the Organized Village of Kake, and the Kake Non-profit Hatchery. But, as a for-profit privately held corporation, Kake Tribal is fundamentally different from its partners and rightly spearheads the entrepreneurial efforts of what has become a very entrepreneurial town.
