KANA Establishes Environmental Department to Address Tribal Environmental Priorities in Kodiak

KANA (Kodiak Area Native Association) established an Environmental Department in 2018 with EPA funding through the Indian General Assistance Program (IGAP). The department's mission is to create a consortium addressing environmental concerns in collaboration with the ten Tribes of Kodiak. Its primary responsibilities include assessing Tribes' environmental priorities and developing/implementing programs to support those priorities.
