In a December 2009 opinion survey of 600 Southeast Alaska residents, the majority indicated that their most pressing 10-year community goals are jobs and the economy, and the creation of renewable energy alternatives. When they learned how Sealaska’s land legislation specifically addressed these priorities, a strong majority supported its passage. Learn more about our survey
 
This bill, the Southeast Alaska Native Land Entitlement Finalization Act, or Haa Aaní (a Tlingit phrase representing Native peoples’ relationship to the land) would fulfill Sealaska’s final land conveyances as promised 38 years ago in the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA).
 
Haa Aaní was introduced in the U.S. Congress by Alaska Senators Lisa Murkowski and Mark Begich and Congressman Don Young on April 23, 2009.
