Pulling Together

Our Mission

Our past provides the framework by which we move forward. 

It is the mission of the Hoonah Indian Association to build economic, governmental, and social opportunities that promote Tribal sovereignty and individual empowerment while preserving the history and traditions of our ancestors. We are therefore stewards of land, air, and sea in a modern world.
