Tribal Area Description
Chilkat is a Alaska Native Village in Alaska with ANVSA lands. The land base is relevant for broadband planning due to rural service coverage and middle-mile access constraints.
The Intergovernmental Affairs Department builds and maintains strong relationships with other tribal nations, local governments, state agencies, and the federal government to protect the sovereignty and rights of the Chilkat Indian Village. Through initiatives like the Chilkat Forever Campaign and the Chilkat Valley Working Group, the department advocates for the return and protection of ancestral lands, supports food sovereignty efforts, and leads efforts to assert and expand tribal authority across CIV traditional territories. These efforts reflect our inherent right to protect, manage, and govern the lands and waters that have sustained our people for generations.
