Alaska’s largest tribal hospital has officially transitioned from federal to tribal ownership, marking a historic victory for Indigenous self-determination after decades of advocacy.

This symbolic and practical shift represents a major step toward healing historical inequities and affirming tribal sovereignty over vital health infrastructure.
