From time immemorial the Tlingit and Haida people occupied Southeast Alaska as two distinct and separate aboriginal nations. While the Tlingit and Haida People have similar customs, they have very distinct language differences.

• The Tlingit and Haida people were brought together by common interests in protecting, preserving and advocating for the rights of our people.
• The Native cultures of Southeast Alaska were built on a solid foundation of respect for: culture, elders, clans, the bounty of the land and waters, and the land itself.
• Tlingit Haida Central Council is only one of two federally recognized regional tribes in Alaska. This presents a separate set of challenges and opportunities in serving our people.
• Tlingit Haida Central Council remains steadfast and determined to respect the sovereign rights of smaller Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) tribes in Alaska and especially in Southeast Alaska.
• We are proud of the legacy our forefathers have built for us in the areas of self-governance, self- determination, and tribal administration.
• We clearly understand that we must work hand-in-hand with the other federally recognized tribes in Southeast Alaska to maximize benefit to our common citizenry and to protect our sovereign rights in perpetuity.
