Why are Alaska Native corporations included in the CARES Act for Tribal Relief Funding?

Alaska Native regional and village corporations are “tribes” under the CARES Act and are therefore eligible for funding. Treasury has determined that Alaska Native regional and village corporations as defined in or established pursuant to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act are eligible to receive payments from the Fund in the amounts to be determined by the Secretary of the Treasury.
