Empowering self-determined and sovereign Tribal communities in the Bristol Bay region is one of our four strategic focus areas.

Continuing our ways of life is rooted in strong self-governance and Native values. To ensure our ways of life are protected for future generations, UTBB works to advance the regional vision through advocacy rooted in a united and strong Tribal voice.

 
 
 

The Work

This work includes maintaining and building strong foundations for Tribal self-governance, meaning Tribes’ inherent right to govern themselves and make decisions about their future. We are stronger together. Working with a united Tribal voice strengthens our work toward strong Native Nations.

Our focus

The focus of this work includes building capacity through education, self- governance tools, and traditional justice systems- all rooted in Native values to better equip Tribes to build strong Tribal Nations.
