Sealaska Approves $11.8 Million Fall Distribution, Welcomes New Youth Advisor, and Advances Community Investments
Friday, November 7, 2025
Aak’w Kwáan (Juneau, Alaska), November 7, 2025 — Sealaska’s Board of Directors approved a $11.8 million fall distribution to shareholders to be issued Thursday, Nov. 13. The distribution reflects Sealaska’s commitment to its people and culture. Including descendants in the distribution ensures equitable generational sharing that honors ancestral stewardship.
Sealaska welcomes Caleb Lee, valedictorian of Tacoma Online High School and 2025 graduate of Tacoma Community College, as the 2026 Board Youth Advisor. Lee will provide youth perspectives to the board while gaining valuable leadership and mentorship from sitting board members as well as current sitting Board Youth Advisor Aaní Perkins. “I hope to see more youth involved with Sealaska,” Lee said. “Sealaska can be overwhelming for young people to understand, but I want them to get involved and make an impact.”
The board approved $35,000 in community donations, including $15,000 for typhoon relief in addition to a previous $10,000 donation.
Sealaska stands with families affected by recent flooding in Western Alaska and those navigating uncertainty during the federal government shutdown.
Through distributions, youth leadership and community support, Sealaska continues to honor its Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian values while building a strong, resilient future for shareholders and communities.
