Our team

KKT is overseen by a Board composed of majority Indigenous Directors and Alternate Directors from the communities where we operate, alongside non-Indigenous Directors with specific skillsets. Together, they are experts in remote area operations, cultural education, finance, academia, cultural heritage management, conservation and language. KKT's Board makes key decisions about which projects to fund, how to support partners, financial sustainability, risk management and succession planning.
