One Land. One Voice. One People.

Fifty years ago, five Southeast communities were excluded from the largest land claims settlement in U.S. history - Alaska Natives Without Land advocates for the restoration of ancestral homelands to Native communities forgotten by the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, and works with the Southeast Alaska Landless Corporation and individual communities to reunite Native people with a small portion of their homelands.

TODAY is the day to right the wrongs of yesterday.

Alaska Natives Without Land appreciates our Alaska delegation for their support throughout the decades.

ANCSA & Its Impact

The Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971 was a pivotal piece of legislation that redefined economic sovereignty and community resilience for Alaska Natives while adding value to the Alaskan economy, federal government and private sector. Through overall contributions to social, health, cultural, and educational programs and services, Alaska Native corporations invest in their communities and provide a dedicated support system for their shareholders.

The goal of Alaska Natives Without Land is to amend ANCSA to reunite our five Southeast Alaska Native communities with their lands and grant them the opportunity to grow and succeed as their neighbors have.

Why were these communities excluded?

Good question.

In 1993, Congress requested an in-depth review of why these communities were left out of the 1971 ANCSA decision, and it was concluded that there was no legitimate reason as to why Haines, Tenakee, Ketchikan, Wrangell or Petersburg were left out of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act.
