We are organized as Dena’ Nena’ Henash or “Our Land Speaks”; an Alaska Native non-profit corporation, charged with advancing Tribal self-determination and enhancing regional Native unity. We work toward meeting the health and social service needs of Tribal members and beneficiaries throughout our region. Our programs and services range from direct healthcare services to tribal development services, the management of natural resources, public safety, community planning and transportation.
Our Vision
Healthy, Strong, Unified Tribes
Our Mission
Tanana Chiefs Conference provides a unified voice in advancing sovereign tribal governments through the promotion of physical and mental wellness, education, socioeconomic development, and culture of the Interior Alaska Native people.
Ch’eghwtsen’
Ch’eghwtsen’ is inspired by the Gospel According to Chief Peter John and means ‘true love’ in the Lower Tanana dialect.
This means that TCC’s services come from a place of love, compassion, and understanding.
Our Guiding Principle
Accessible and trusted world-class services provided with unconditional love, compassion, dignity and respect. HEAR ME.
