Founded in 1981, Umialik Insurance Company was established by the Ukpeagvik Inupiat Corporation in Utqiagvik, Alaska, to provide Native-owned insurance services. The name Umialik comes from the Inupiaq word for "Captain," referring both to the captain of a whaling ship and to a leader in the community. Over more than forty years of operation, the company has built its work around Independent Insurance Agents who can place coverage with several different carriers, giving Alaska residents and businesses a range of options rather than a single exclusive choice.

Umialik is a member of the Western National Insurance Group, a super-regional group of five active companies providing property-and-casualty insurance to individuals, families, and businesses in twenty U.S. states, with surety bonds in forty-three states. Through this membership, Umialik draws on the financial resources of a parent group that holds an A+ (Superior) rating from A.M. Best Company and is recognized among Ward's Top 50 group of property-and-casualty insurance companies.

With a 4.50 rating from customers who have reviewed it, Umialik Insurance Company carries a reputation built on more than four decades of Alaska-focused service through independent agents who know the specific conditions of the state.
