How are Alaska Native Corporations eligible for the CARES Act Tribal Relief Funding?

As Alaska Native Corporations, our mandate under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) is to support our Alaska Native shareholders economically, culturally and socially. We have a legal responsibility to serve our Alaska Native shareholders and communities. We work collaboratively with our Alaska tribes because our tribal rights were bifurcated by the federal government such that our tribes have sovereign status, while Alaska Native Corporations own our Native lands. Together, we represent the full set of interests of our Alaska Native people.
