Sealaska and Tlingit & Haida Strengthen Regional Collaboration
Friday, December 13, 2024
We are pleased to announce that Tlingit & Haida Executive Council and Sealaska board of directors met to engage in meaningful discussions on issues that matter most to tribal citizens and shareholders. This collaborative meeting was an important step toward finding pathways to create mutually beneficial outcomes while strengthening entities to better serve people and communities.
This gathering is a critical milestone in building stronger connections between our tribes, Native corporations, and other Native organizations. With a shared vision and concerted effort, we are working towards a regional dialogue that will bring together Southeast tribes, corporations, and allied groups. Such a gathering promises to be a valuable opportunity to align our goals, foster collaboration, and ensure that our collective voices and priorities are not only heard but acted upon.
“Aatléin Gunalchéesh to Tlingit & Haida for their dedication to working together,” said Sealaska Board Chair Richard Rinehart. “We have always supported each other on priorities such as finalizing Landless and advocating for our way of life and language. We are excited about the opportunities to strengthen our work around economic opportunities, education, and a shared vision for the future.”
“We are deeply grateful to the Sealaska Board for their partnership and for their continued dedication to the advancement of our people and communities,” said Tlingit & Haida President Chalyee Éesh Richard Peterson. “Together, we are laying the foundation for a future where our shared vision of prosperity, unity, and cultural revitalization is realized.”
Sealaska and Central Council’s leadership are committed to working together and will continue to meet regularly to coordinate opportunities for partnership that support the social, economic, and educational needs of tribal citizens and shareholders. Both acknowledge that there will be times when we may not agree, but we are committed to leaning into those difficult conversations, recognizing their importance for the growth and well-being of our people.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to work toward turning this vision into a reality. Together, we are stronger.
