In November 2011, the Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indians and Sealaska Corporation sponsored a luncheon to recognize the initial Sealaska Board of Directors and Emil Notti, Chair of the Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) when Alaska Natives were pursuing the settlement of their aboriginal land claims. Notti cast the tie-breaking vote at AFN to allow Southeast Alaska Natives into the historic Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, which was passed by Congress 40 years ago. (Photo by Brian Wallace)
