List of Alaska Native tribal entities
From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia
The List of Alaska Native tribal entities includes the federally recognized tribes in the state of Alaska. These tribes are recognized by the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and are eligible for funding and services from the BIA. The list is updated periodically to reflect changes in the status of tribes.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Alaska Native tribes are distinct political entities with their own governance structures. They are recognized as sovereign nations by the United States government, which allows them to manage their own affairs and govern their people. The recognition of these tribes is crucial for the preservation of their cultural heritage, self-determination, and access to federal assistance programs.
