Home > Who We Are > About Us > Board of Directors > Clarence Jackson, Sr., Kake, AK
Clarence Jackson signed the articles of incorporation for Sealaska Corporation in 1972, and today he is the only board member who has served continuously since the company came into existence. Clarence has been self-employed for most of his life and is a long-time merchant and professional fisherman. An unrelenting champion for subsistence rights, Clarence is a village voice in the boardroom. "I believe we need, as much as possible, to be with our shareholders." "Our lifestyle is changing and if we don't continue to fight for our traditional lifestyle in terms of food, we will lose it," he says. Clarence believes the assault on the subsistence life will continue, and he feels that Sealaska has been a strong political advocate for Native people on this important issue.
