Our Land / Our Way of Life

Tlingit & Haida is thrilled to host the third UCUT Transboundary Mining Conference at our Elizabeth Peratrovich Hall in Dzantik'i Heeni (Juneau, Alaska). Grounded in Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian culture, this gathering will bring together Indigenous leaders (from Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and British Columbia), as well as government officials, and community partners to share information, spend time together on the lands and waters of Lingít Aaní, explore solutions for transboundary governance, and develop a road map for the future.

Our event page is evolving, but check it out!

REGISTRATION

For Tribal and First Nation representatives $50*

For non-Tribal and First Nation representatives $200*

These fees will help to cover some of the meal expenses and to create a travel scholarship for those who need it. Delicious and nutritious foods and refreshments will be provided.

We do have a capacity limit for this year's gathering & we are asking all organizations to limit their participation to 3-5 key individuals.
