Sealaska Heritage Institute (SHI) was established by Sealaska in 1980 at the urging of our Elders, who convened that year to discuss the urgent task of preserving art, languages and traditional practices that were being devastatingly eroded by decades of systemic cultural erasure at the hands of the state and federal government, major religions and the widespread discrimination that defined Alaska for far too long.
Since that time, SHI has gone from a small nonprofit arts organization to the dominant force in Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian cultural preservation.
We are grateful for our elders who have made it possible for our children to continue and learn about who they are, and we are proud of the work SHI has accomplished and continues to do within our communities.
Follow along as we continue to tell our #OneSealaska story.
Meet Jason Gubatayao, General Manager of Haa Aaní, whose connection to Southeast Alaska and extensive forestry expertise drive our #OneSealaska mission. Jason leads the charge in balanced land management, forging strong partnerships with local communities to ensure the lands we care for remain vibrant and abundant for generations to come.
We’re deeply grateful to everyone who joins us in our mission to protect and nurture our lands. Together, as #OneSealaska, we’re fostering healthy forests, healthy wildlife and healthy communities. Thank you for being part of this journey!
We invite you to meet Derik Frederikson, Vice President of Regional Development at Sealaska.
Derik's Sm'algyax name is Sigwinii’tsn Gayna. He is Gisputwada, from the house of Niiuks. His family is originally from Gitlaan on the Skeena River, later moving to old Metlakatla and eventually to new Metlakatla (Taquan) in Alaska. Born and raised in Seattle, Derik carries his connection to our ancestral values wherever he goes.
Aligning our cultural values with our business practices has been rewarding for us as #OneSealaska in so many ways. Remaining rooted in people and planet, stewarding the landscape as we equip our villages and all our communities with economic opportunities and positive environmental outcomes is the way forward.
David Edenshaw Jr. is the Natural Resources Community Liaison for Sealaska. He is incredible in his role, listening to the communities we work with and helping ensure their land access. So much of our work centers the relationship between people and planet, and David does an incredible job of nurturing that relationship and providing a platform for others to do the same.
Meet Joshua Quinto, a key member of Sealaska's team who helps streamline how we connect in the digital world. A former recipient of a Sealaska scholarship, Joshua now uses his software engineering degree to ensure others can easily apply for those same opportunities online. His dedication to giving back and supporting the community is a wonderful example for us all.
We're grateful to have Joshua's talent and heart as part of our Sealaska family.
