Southeast Alaska Indigenous Transboundary Commission (SEITC), established in 2014, is a consortium of 15 Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian Nations defending the transboundary rivers and ways of life from rapidly expanding mining development occurring in the Canadian headwaters. 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 The SEITC is a consortium of federally recognized Tribal governments. We work to protect our customary and traditional ways of life throughout Southeast Alaska and the Pacific Northwest region. The SEITC is a unified voice for Tribes and First Nations facing impacts from development and industrialization rapidly occurring 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.
