The Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) is the largest statewide Native organization in Alaska, representing over 140,000 Native peoples, which is approximately one out of every five Alaskans. Established in 1966 to settle land claims, AFN continues to be the primary platform and voice for Alaska Natives in addressing critical public policy and government issues. They promote and advocate for programs and systems that instill pride and confidence in individual Alaska Natives, while fostering the preservation and growth of Alaska Native cultures. With a mission to enhance and promote the cultural, economic, and political voice of the Alaska Native community, AFN works towards advancing shared priorities and supporting communities. Through their annual Convention, which is the largest representative gathering of Native peoples in the United States, AFN provides a platform for dialogue, sets priorities, and advocates for fair and appropriate policies. Their efforts aim to strengthen unity among Alaska Natives and ensure their voices are heard at both federal and state levels.Generated from the website
