In a December 2009 Sealaska Corporation commissioned an 30-minute opinion survey of 600 Southeast Alaska residents to learn more about their values and beliefs, including their awareness of S. 881 the Haa Aaní land bill. Key findings include:
Southeast residents support Haa Aaní, and support for the legislation increases as respondents learn more about it.
Southeast residents’ top urgent goal is creating jobs and improving the economy.
The majority of SE residents believe the management of the Tongass National Forest needs to be balanced between providing jobs and protecting fish and habitat.
