“The mission of native conservancy is to support indigenous people's efforts to preserve, repatriate and restore ancestral lands through the establishment of indigenous land conservation trusts on scarred lands and waters that are inherent to the protection and preservation of sovereignty, subsistence, spirituality and native culture.”

“Peopleback: peopleback focuses on food sovereignty, food security, and contributing traditional practices in line with cultural restoration programming in support of indigenous elders and community members. Through monthly distributions, frozen subsistence foods and prepared meals were provided to support nutritional security and the preservation of traditional foods. These distributions have also been shared outside of the organization's base of operations, reaching communities throughout alaska. Peopleback also advanced a cultural carving initiative through the transport and storage of two yellow cedar logs to cordova, alaska, for future healing pole development. The organization coordinated logistics, and community consultation with elders, cultural practitioners, and tribal leaders to ensure the project is grounded in traditional knowledge and cultural protocols.”

“Other program activities include conferences and communications: this accounts for donor and grant outreach and marketing to help support the mission of the organization.”
