Supporting Alaska Native Artists: Introducing Our Seasonal Indigenous Artist Support Loan

At Cook Inlet Lending Center, we believe that preserving and celebrating Indigenous culture is not just a cultural imperative—it's an economic opportunity that strengthens our entire community. That's why we're excited to announce our new Seasonal Indigenous Artist Support Loan, designed specifically for Alaska Native entrepreneurs preparing to showcase their artistry at the 2025 Alaska Native Customary Art Fair, which is held during the Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) Annual Convention.
