Two separate Alaska tribal councils announced Monday they will not be renewing their membership with the Alaska Federation of Natives.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The largest federally recognized tribe in Alaska will no longer be part of the largest statewide Native organization.
“Over the past few years, over 40 resolutions were passed by the full board at AFN that support a subsistence way of life, but no significant action has been taken on those directives,” the Tanana Chiefs Conference said in a statement. “A lot of effort, time, and money goes toward participating in AFN and it is important that those resources be utilized to their maximum potential to advance TCC’s Tribal priorities.
According to a press release sent out by the Tlingit & Haida council, the organization’s executive council voted to end its membership with AFN during a meeting held on May 1. The council did not specify a reason for leaving the Federation of Natives, but said it will continue to collaborate with the federation where it is needed., Tlingit and Haida President Richard Chalyee Éesh Peterson said that the tribe has committed to advocating for its people.
