Collectively, we can achieve whatever we set our minds to. It is our future. - Julie Kitka

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.

The Alaska Federation of Natives is deeply saddened by the passing of Joel Jackson. Joel was deeply grounded in his culture and fiercely protective of his people and homeland. He dedicated his life to protecting our lands, waters, subsistence way of life, and the rights of our people. His strength, conviction, and commitment to Kake and future generations will not be forgotten.

📬 Alaska voters: If you’re voting by mail this November, PLAN AHEAD.

With the November 3 General Election approaching, Get Out the Native Vote (GOTNV) is urging voters—especially those in rural communities—to request and return mail ballots as early as possible.

Mail can take longer to move in rural Alaska, where ballots may travel through village post offices, small aircraft, regional hubs, and multiple transportation connections. Weather, flight schedules, and postal staffing can all affect delivery times.

Here’s what you can do:

🗳️ Request your mail ballot early
📮 Return it as soon as possible
✍️ Ask the postal clerk to hand-postmark your ballot
🏛️ Consider returning your ballot to your local Absentee Voting Official or City Clerk
🔎 Track your ballot to make sure it has been received
📍 Make sure your mailing information is current
❓ If you have questions, contact election officials before Election Day

These steps are especially important given the new federal requirements affecting election mail and the challenges many rural communities experienced during the August primary.

Don’t wait. Plan ahead. Make your vote count.

Please share this information with your family, Elders, and neighbors—especially those in communities where mail service is limited or depends on air transportation.

For assistance, contact Get Out the Native Vote by direct message or email [email protected].

For official election information, always check the latest guidance from the Alaska Division of Elections.

🗳️ Your vote helps protect our ways of life.

Voting is one way we help shape the future of our communities, support our voices, and honor the generations who came before us. Every election is an opportunity to have a say in the decisions that impact our families, cultures, and traditions.

Hear from regional leaders in Interior Alaska as they share why voting matters and why your voice is important.

Every vote counts. Every voice matters. 💙

A heartfelt thank you to Bethel and the Association of Village Council Presidents for welcoming AFN and hosting us last night and tonight for our regional listening sessions. ❤️

We are so grateful to everyone who took the time to join us, share your experiences, and speak openly about the future of subsistence and the priorities that matter most to your communities.

These conversations have been incredibly meaningful as we travel across Alaska and listen directly to our people. Thank you, Bethel, for your hospitality, your honesty, and for sharing your voices with us.

We appreciate you and look forward to carrying what we heard forward. 💙

Next stop, Fairbanks on August 31!
