Welcome to Kavilco

The Kavilco Incorporated name was created with much thought. KA came from Kasaan, VIL represents the Indian Village of Kasaan and CO represents the Company.

The Kavilco plaque reads “Hale Alaska Indian Descendants All,” which stands for HAIDA. Also on the plaque is a picture of mountains, long house, totem and water. The mountains represent future revenues as well as hunting areas. The long house and totem represent the past. The blue water is the fishing area around the Village of Kasaan from which our ancestors gathered their food and made their living.
