ALASKA REGION


The Intertribal Agriculture Council (IAC) supports Tribes and individual Tribal producers in the region by increasing access to federal programs through its initiatives, fostering economic development, and advancing parity for Native communities.










ABOUT

The Alaska Region plays a vital role in advancing Tribal agriculture and food sovereignty across a vast and diverse landscape. Spanning over 663,000 square miles, it is home to 229 Federally Recognized Tribes, from the Southeast Panhandle to the Arctic Ocean and the Aleutian Islands. Alaska Native communities face unique challenges, including limited access to infrastructure, short growing seasons, and extreme climates. IAC supports Tribal producers through targeted technical assistance, culturally relevant programs, and partnerships with USDA agencies like NRCS. These efforts promote food security, sustainable resource management, and protect traditional ecological knowledge. By strengthening self-determination and local food systems, IAC helps Alaska Native communities build resilience and steward their lands for future generations.
