Nalaquq, LLC, (from the Yugtun Phrase “It’s been found”) is an Alaska Native–owned subsidiary of Qanirtuuq, Inc., the village corporation for Quinhagak, Alaska. We are an Indigenous‑led partner for research, training, and field operations in some of the most remote communities and challenging environments. With years of experience providing field season logistical support for co‑designed research and archaeology projects, we help teams safely plan, supply, and carry out projects far from road systems and major hubs.

Our Core Services

 

Co‑Produce Research & Design

We design and facilitate research in true partnership with communities, from early idea and funding strategy through implementation and sharing results. We also support research and product development by helping refine concepts, test prototypes, and run proof‑of‑concept projects in real‑world community and field settings.

 

Community‑Based Training

We deliver practical, hands‑on training that builds local capacity in drone operations and mapping, GIS and spatial storytelling, and technology integration and interface use for community decision‑making.

 

Cultural Resource Management 

We provide professional archaeological consulting services, including cultural resource surveys, documentation, and Section 106 compliance assessments that respect local knowledge and protect cultural landscapes.

Remote Sensing 

We use advanced technologies to map infrastructure and subsistence areas. We operate a fleet of specialized aircraft and sensors for all your 2D and 3D mapping needs. 

 

Through all of our work, we ensure local people are involved in meaningful roles that build capacity, support certifications, and expand skills for employment and local economic growth.
