Woven peoples + place in Southeast Alaska.

A Vibrant Way of Life.

The Sustainable Southeast Partnership (SSP) is a dynamic collective uniting diverse skills and perspectives to strengthen cultural, ecological, and economic resilience across Southeast Alaska. We envision self-determined and connected communities where Southeast Indigenous values continue to inspire society, shape our relationships, and ensure that each generation thrives on healthy lands and waters.

The Seacoast Trust is a perpetual funding source for the Sustainable Southeast Partnership and the growing movement to center Indigenous values in the stewardship of the coastal temperate rainforest of Southeast Alaska — one of the world’s most ecologically important places.

Southeast Alaska

Our Home

All it takes is one morning walk along a salmon stream, one dance at a Culture Camp where the box drum thumps your core, one commute home as the alpenglow erupts across the mountains, to know that Southeast Alaska is spectacular. Our home is unlike anywhere left on earth.

Our rainforest is intact and abundant. Our towering old growth forests store the carbon equivalent of six million cars a year while producing a quarter of all the salmon in the Pacific Northwest. Our communities are culturally resilient and practice a unique way of life that is rapidly disappearing across the globe. By caring for Southeast Alaska, we care for the world.

These are the homelands of the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian Peoples who continue to care for, steward, and honor the lands and waters that sustain all Southeast Alaskans. Each isolated community is as unique and diverse as the people who call it home.
