The organization鈥檚 mission is to: educate on policy and governance relative to Alaska Native people; create a forum to share issues that affect Alaska Native and rural communities; introduce ways people can lead within indigenous communities locally, nationally and internationally; promote healthy rural and urban communities; encourage the continuation of diverse cultural heritage; and mentor young Alaska Natives in academic and professional development.
