The Council’s meeting recaps usually comes out the week following the Council meeting. Final motions are available on the Council’s eAgenda during the meeting shortly after they are passed, but a more detailed account of issues, sometimes with history and background, is available when the recaps come out. The meeting recap is also where you’ll find upcoming meetings and fishery-related announcements. If you’d like to stay informed about Council happenings via the recaps, subscribe, and we can send you the recaps and agenda via email when they’re published. We sometimes send out additional information related to Council happenings via this email list as well, especially if it has to do with logistics surrounding an upcoming Council meeting. Newsletters older than 2018 can be found through our eAgenda. Please note that not all historic eAgendas have newsletters; if you have any questions please contact administration.

We respectfully acknowledge that the Council regularly meets, and its staff office resides, in Anchorage on Dena’ina homelands. The Council wants to honor the Dena’ina, the Indigenous Peoples who have stewarded this land across generations and continue to do so. We are glad to be part of this community, and to honor the culture, resilience, and tradition of the Dena’ina people.
