Sealaska Corporation shareholders have voted to end the blood quantum requirement for enrollment. Instead, people will need to prove they are descended from an original shareholder through a birth certificate.
A Sealaska corporate logo adorns the roof of the Southeast Alaska Native corporation’s headquarters in Juneau on May 2, 2018.
Board President Joe Nelson says it’s an issue he’s heard a lot about from shareholders, which he understands personally as well. While he was an original shareholder, his sister, born a few years later, wasn’t. He calls the 1971 ANCSA cut-off date arbitrary and the blood-quantum requirement archaic. Sealaska Corporation has 23,000 shareholders who are Lingít, Haida, and Tsimshian people with roots in Southeast Alaska. Many now live elsewhere.
“If you add more shareholders, then the voting strength of the current shareholders is diluted,” Mata said.
