Who We Are

Sealaska is a for-profit Alaska Native Corporation that was formed in 1971 as result of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) – the largest land settlement in US history. Through ANCSA, approximately 44 million acres of traditional homelands were returned to Alaska Natives in the form of 13 regional for profit corporations, of which Sealaska, with more than 22,000 Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian shareholders, is the largest. Sealaska’s land holdings in Southeast Alaska are roughly 1.6% percent of the traditional homelands that native people inhabited for more than 10,000 years.

Sealaska’s primary economic drivers are natural resources, land management, environmental services and seafood. We draw inspiration from our shared heritage to protect our community’s greatest and most important resources – the oceans, forests, and people of Southeast Alaska.
