Alaska Native corporations are the leading businesses in the state, according to Alaska Business Monthly.

Of the top 10 corporations last year, seven were Native corporations. That's a long way from the bankruptcies and near bankruptcies in recent years.

The largest business is Arctic Slope Regional Corp. With revenue of $1.6 billion and 1,506 employees, it is the seventh-largest employer in the state.

The second largest business is Chugach Alaska Corp. Chugach and other Native corporations have seen revenue increase due to more government contracting.
