Alaska Native Settlement Trust Eligibility Act Signed into Law

CIRI’s Alaska Native Shareholders are representative of all Alaska Native cultures and are of Athabascan, Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian, Inupiat, Yup’ik, Alutiiq/Sugpiaq and Aleut/Unangax descent. One of CIRI’s greatest strengths is our Shareholder and Descendant’s diversity.
Payments from ANC Settlement Trusts will now be excluded from income when assessing eligibility for federal assistance programs.
Connection, progress and shared purpose—as we move toward the end of the year, these objectives will continue to guide our work throughout the CIRI enterprise.
My name is Cale Tolbert (Athabascan), and I was elected to serve my fellow Shareholders and Descendants at the 2025 Annual Meeting of CIRI Shareholders.
