There’s a mythic quality to Alaska—most people picture the enormous size, the vast wilderness, and the extreme climate. However, the truth is that, in Southeast Alaska, the communities are close-knit, the land provides many resources, and people have lived here for thousands of years. In addition, it has a fairly moderate maritime climate and the sun still comes up, even on winter solstice!

The National Indian Health Board (NIHB) has been fighting for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) health care equality since 1972, serving all 574 federally-recognized Tribes. NIHB offers key opportunities for allies, organizations, and agencies to network, build relationships and establish partnerships with Tribal health leaders in efforts to address AI/AN health priorities. NIHB advocates for Tribal sovereignty in health to the highest levels of national policy making. NIHB is in Washington, D.C. fighting every day for your Tribe, your citizens, and your health.

The United States is home to 574 federally recognized American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) tribes. These tribes can opt to receive healthcare from the Indian Health Service (IHS), an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In the early 2000s, the IHS lacked a robust software module in the Resource and Patient Management System for dental records. Many tribes were using paper records or other manual solutions to maintain dental records for their community members.

The cannabis industry in Indian Country is perhaps best described as in its infancy with only a handful of tribes engaged in cultivating, processing, and retail activities. More than two-thirds of states have legalized cannabis and tribes in Nevada, Washington, and Oregon operate cannabis enterprises pursuant to state compacts while other states like Connecticut and New Mexico authorize the governor to enter into compacts. Tribes in other regions of Indian Country have developed operations without a state compact. Tribes may create various regulatory and taxation regimes under tribal law, with or without a state compact, that license tribally-owned vertically integrated operations or enable tribal members to establish individual cannabis enterprises. A tribe could also establish a hybrid model where a tribally-owned retail enterprise purchases cannabis products from licensed tribal members. Finally, tribes also have the ability to acquire state licenses and operate entirely within state regulatory regimes.

The low-income housing tax credit program (LIHTC Program) was created by the Tax Reform Act of 1986.1 Although it is a federal program, it is administered by states and is available to real estate owners and private developers, including tribes and tribally owned entities. However, the LIHTC Program is not always easily accessible to tribes. Since its inception, the LIHTC Program has allowed for the creation of over 3.2 million housing units nationwide,2 of which just over 31,000 were within Indian Country as of 2019 (just .9%).3
