The values that shape each of Sealaska’s decisions are older than living memory, as our people have called Southeast Alaska home for more than 10,000 years. And yet, our understanding of these four core cultural values continues to evolve, acting as pillars that inform our strategy and actions at all levels.


Haa Aaní | Íitl’ Tlagáa | Na Yuubm > Our Land

Haa Shuká | Íitl’ Kuníisii | Na Hlagigyadm > Our Past, Present and Future

Haa Latseen | Íitl’ Dagwiigáay | Na Yugyetga’nm > Our Strength and Leadership

Wooch.Yax | Gu dlúu | Ama Mackshm > Balance, Reciprocity and Respect


This deep, unwavering commitment to our cultural values contributes to our resiliency, our ability to adapt, informs our intimate and symbiotic relationship with the environment, drives our work toward sustainable cultural ecosystems, and reinforces our commitment to protect our institutions and lands for future generations. Sealaska translates and applies these values across all that we do, from our backyard salmon streams to our global businesses.
