The Native American tribes map of Alaska is a comprehensive, historically accurate educational poster documenting the pre-contact homelands and territories of Alaska Native peoples and First Nations across the state. This Alaska indigenous peoples map represents the full diversity of Alaska Native nations — including the Iñupiat, Yup'ik, Cup'ik, Alutiiq, Unangan (Aleut), Athabascan, Eyak, Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian peoples — using both traditional autonyms and commonly recognized names.
Alaska is home to more than 200 federally recognized tribes, making it the state with the highest number of tribal nations in the United States. The geographic diversity of Alaska Native territories is extraordinary, spanning Arctic tundra, interior boreal forest, coastal rainforest, and island archipelagos — each supporting distinct cultures, languages, and ways of life developed over thousands of years. This map captures that complexity, showing where each nation's homeland was located relative to the others and to the landscape they stewarded.
Key historical and cultural contexts represented include the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA), the establishment of Native Village and Regional Corporations, the ongoing significance of subsistence fishing and hunting rights, and the resilience of Alaska Native languages — many of which are actively being revitalized today.
