Our Vision
We envision a future where northern lands, waters, and ways of life are sustained for generations; by allowing stewardship and reciprocity to guide decisions, our communities in Alaska and western Canada can be resilient and thriving.
Key Focus Areas
We value environmental, cultural, and ecological stewardship that is grounded by community needs and informed both by science and Indigenous Knowledge. Collaboration and transparency are at the core of our work, and we strive to provide a safe and neutral discussion space for our partners. These are some key focus areas we are currently engaged in.
