AFN's Mission: Enhancing and promoting the cultural, economic and political voice of the Alaska Native community.

The largest statewide Native organization in Alaska, AFN represents more than 140,000 Native peoples – about one out of every five Alaskans. Formed in 1966 to settle land claims, AFN continues to be the principal forum and voice of Alaska Natives in addressing critical issues of public policy and government.

Policy Priorities

Our Native people have a distinct trust relationship with the Federal Government and a unique relationship with the State of Alaska.

We foster ongoing dialogue with our representatives and administration officials to advocate for fair and appropriate policies.
