Description

When our Elders came together for the first Sealaska Elders Conference 40 years ago, a single theme emerged: preserving the past and passing it on to future generations. We hear this loud and clear in the Because We Cherish You. Even from long ago, our grandchildren we placed high above ourselves. Yes. We cherish them.

Our Elders’ beautiful words inspire Sealaska to be a better company. We live by and lead with our Southeast Alaska Native values, knowing our work will benefit our grandchildren.
