The largest statewide Native organization in Alaska, the Alaska Federation of Natives (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. Its membership includes 175 federally recognized tribes, 155 village corporations, 11 regional corporations, and 12 regional nonprofit and tribal consortiums that contract and compact to run federal and state programs. AFN is governed by a 38-member board, which is elected by its membership at the annual convention held each October. AFN’s mission is to enhance and promote the cultural, economic and political voice of the entire Alaska Native community.
