Alaska Native Federation

Alaska Native Federations are organizations that represent Alaska’s Indigenous peoples, such as the Iñupiaq, Yupik, and Aleut communities. They serve as political, economic, and cultural advocates, supporting tribal interests and managing land, resources, and federal programs on behalf of their members. These federations work to preserve Indigenous traditions while promoting economic development and self-determination, often partnering with government agencies and private sector entities. They play a crucial role in ensuring Alaska Native peoples have a voice in decisions affecting their communities and in advancing their social, cultural, and economic well-being.
