Alaska Native regional corporation founded in 1972, operating businesses in seafood, environmental services, construction, technology and sustainable industries across Southeast Alaska through Woocheen.
Sealaska is an Alaska Native regional corporation founded on June 16, 1972, to manage the lands and assets returned to the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian people of Southeast Alaska under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act - an allocation of some 44 million acres of traditional homelands. More than 50 years on, it operates as a diversified enterprise spanning seafood, environmental services, construction, technology, and sustainable industries, with operations concentrated in Southeast Alaska and across the state.
Its commercial activities are conducted through Woocheen, the family of businesses through which Sealaska generates sustainable prosperity while restoring balance to lands, waters, and communities. For technical and trades staff, the operating footprint is the point of interest: construction, environmental services, and land management work across remote and coastal Alaska terrain, alongside seafood and sustainable-industry operations.
The corporation is guided by four core values drawn from Indigenous heritage - Our Land (Haa Aaní), Our Past/Present/Future (Haa Shuká), Our Strength (Haa Latseen), and Balance/Reciprocity (Wooch.Yax). Its stated mission emphasises addressing climate change impacts and economic inequities affecting Native communities, alongside shareholder programs, intergenerational equity for future generations, and a commitment to balancing economic prosperity with environmental protection.
