Our Territory covers over 40,000 sq/km and includes what is now known as British Columbia, Yukon and Alaska/US. Our Territory contains high mountains, expansive forests rich with wildlife and salmon filled wild rivers. As responsible decision makers we are embarking on a course necessary to ensure the preservation of our wildlife, fisheries and culture. As caretakers of the land we are using modern technology, including our Hydro Electric project which provides the community with green energy to reduce our carbon footprint. All of this will assist us in ensuring the preservation of what is Haa Kusteeyí, our Tlingit way of life.
