Plumber

About Six Mile, LLC

SML is an Alaska Native-Owned Village Corporation serving over 2,000 Native shareholders across four villages along the Yukon River. Born from the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971, the company was formed by the villages of Galena, Koyukuk, Nulato, and Kaltag uniting as "friends together" (Gana-A'Yoo) to drive economic development while honoring Athabascan traditions of sharing and long-term relationships.

Our mission is to provide solutions through an innovative, value-added approach that respects shareholders, the environment, and our cultural heritage. We empower our employees to follow their passions, prioritizing safety, well-being, and professional development because treating our team well is both the right thing to do and good business sense.
