Founded in 2003 out of Arctic Village, Alaska Native Movement's first campaign was to aid in building a collective Alaska Native voice for the recognition of Indigenous hunting and fishing rights. By 2007 Native Movement had become formally incorporated as a 501c3 non-profit and grown to a west-coast collective. Since then Native Movement has provided leadership and support for grassroots-led projects that endeavor to ensure Indigenous Peoples’ rights, the rights of Mother Earth, and the building of healthy & sustainable communities for all.
We strive to carry out our work based in a commitment to the Jemez Principles for Democratic Organizing and the Defend the Sacred AK Principles
We recognize that we work throughout the unceded territories of the Indigenous Peoples of Alaska. Our offices are located on the traditional territories of the lower Tanana Dene Peoples and the Dena'ina Peoples. We acknowledge and honor the ancestral & present land stewardship and place-based knowledge of the peoples of these territories.
