Home > Who We Are > Campaigns > <i>Haa Aaní</i> Legislation > What Is the Legislation? > Community EngagementThe legislation has been shaped by more than 225 community meetings.Sealaska has kept an open door of communication. While ANCSA promised one-half of one percent of the Tongass National Forest to Sealaska four decades ago, ideas about how we as a country manage our lands and forests have changed in that time. Now we focus our timber harvest on sustainability, and whenever possible we leave old growth forest and watersheds that provide drinking water to communities untouched. We hold conversations with stakeholders because we know that it is possible to find a balance of needs that benefits all. We hold council also because it is our way as Alaska Natives. The legislation we took to our congressional delegation to take forward in 2011 was shaped by the people who participated in every one of the more than 225 meetings we held in Southeast Alaska.
