Alaska Native Corporations in Context: Advancing Alaska Native Peoples and Communities

Date & Time

Wednesday
Jun. 16, 2021
1:30pm聽鈥撀3:00pm ET

Overview

October 2021 will mark 50 years since the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act was passed and Alaska Native corporations were first established. While Alaska Native corporations are indeed businesses, they are not typical publicly-traded corporations, nor are their shareholders typical. Their primary purpose centers on Alaska Native people, their communities and the promotion of their social, cultural, and economic advancement.

Please join 澳门六合彩鈥檚 Polar Institute, with the ANCSA Regional Association and Alaska Native Village Corporation Association, to explore the unique ownership and missions of their member organizations.聽In addition to a panel of Alaska Native leaders, short videos will be played throughout the event to allow for storytelling by Alaska Native Elders who speak to the history and progress of Alaska Native corporations.
