In 1912 the Alaska Native Brotherhood was founded.

In 1971 Congress passed the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act which settled land and financial claims and provided for the establishment of 13 Alaska Native Regional Corporations to administer those claims. Similar to the status of the Canadian Inuit and First Nations, which are recognized as distinct peoples, Alaska Natives are in some respects treated separately from Native Americans in the United States.

Natives are a majority in approximately 176 villages and small cities and are a substantial part of the population in over 200 communities.

Alaska’s southeastern panhandle is the traditional territory of the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian Indian tribes.

Natives constitute 70 percent of the population of these villages (and their surrounding areas) which stretch the length of the panhandle from Yakutat in the north to Metlakatla in the south.
