Business deal

By Dominic Salvato

Sealaska's land allotment isn't a Native rights issue. It is a business deal with the intent to make millions for the executives of the Sealaska Corporation. Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian citizens of the United State already own the land.

What happens to that land after it is placed in the hands of The Sealaska Corporation is what qualifies the land allotment as a business deal.

Native rights are negotiated with Tribes, not Corporations.
