Carrying Forward
A Shared VISION
Huna Totem Corporation proudly partners with Kuuk Water, a like-minded organization driven by purpose and dedicated to cultural and environmental stewardship. As an Alaska Native village corporation, we are deeply committed to protecting haa aaní—our ancestral land—while creating sustainable opportunities for our people and future generations. Our mission is rooted in woosh jee een—working together—for the benefit of our community, culture, and environment. In Kuuk Water, we see not just a partner, but a shared movement: one that honors Indigenous values and uplifts all people and land.
About Kuuk Water
Kuuk Water is a pioneering water company committed to providing high-quality, sustainably packaged water while celebrating Indigenous heritage and advocating for global water accessibility. Packaged in eco-friendly aluminum cans, Kuuk Water offers a premium hydration experience while reducing plastic waste and promoting environmental stewardship.
Inspired by the deep connection between water and Indigenous communities, Kuuk—which means “river” in Iñupiaq—honors the traditions and values of Alaska’s Native peoples. The company embodies resilience, sustainability, and cultural pride, sharing stories and symbols that reflect its rich heritage.
Beyond delivering quality water, Kuuk Water is dedicated to raising awareness about water security challenges in Alaska and Africa. Driven by a belief that access to clean, safe drinking water is a fundamental right, the company actively supports initiatives that address water scarcity and infrastructure needs in vulnerable communities.
As Kuuk Water expands across Alaska and beyond, its mission remains clear: to provide a refreshing, ethical, and environmentally responsible water option while uplifting Indigenous voices and making a meaningful impact on water sustainability worldwide.
Kuugac. A Place To Find Water.
Through its nonprofit arm, Kuugaq, Kuuk Water reinvests in impactful initiatives, ranging from water accessibility projects to youth wellness programs, ensuring every can sold gives back. Together, we are contributing to a growing network of Indigenous-led innovation, cultural pride, and sustainable impact.
