Smokehouse Catering is one of the only tribally-owned catering companies in Alaska. With a vision of providing an authentic, costeffective, and delicious Indigenous experience, Smokehouse Catering meets the Tribe’s internal food service needs while capitalizing on external opportunities to raise awareness of who the Tribe is and what we do throughout the Alaska Native community.
Like Tlingit & Haida’s other enterprises, Smokehouse Catering partners with internal departments and programs such as Head Start, Little Eagles and Ravens Nest (LEARN), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Motherhood Is Sacred® and Fatherhood Is Sacred® to provide employment opportunities for tribal citizens. Smokehouse Catering also partners with external organizations such as REACH, a non-profit organization dedicated to creating communities free of barriers for people with disabilities.
