Southeast Alaska Indigenous Transboundary Commission (SEITC), established in 2014, is a consortium of 14 Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian Nations defending tribal lands and waterways from rapidly expanding mining development occurring in the transboundary watershed region, across the Alaska-Canada border. SEITC is currently leading a significant human rights initiative that aims to halt any further harm to the transboundary watersheds. 

SEITC represents the interests of its member tribal nations whose rights to culture, physical health and well-being, means of subsistence, and property are being violated by Canada’s acts and omissions. SEITC derives its authority from its member tribal governments with each member Tribe having a formally designated representative.
 

PURPOSE SEITC is a consortium of federally recognized Tribal governments working to protect our tribal lands, waterways, and customary and traditional ways of life throughout Southeast Alaska and the Pacific Northwest region. SEITC is a unified voice for Tribes and First Nations facing impacts from expanding industrialization in our region. 
 

MISSION To uphold our sovereign rights to steward traditional lands, waterways, and sacred sites.  
 

VISION The spirit of our traditional lands, waterways, and sacred sites are respected and nurtured for all future generations.
