The largest organization of Alaska Native Tribes and Native corporations announced (late Tuesday) that it will postpone its annual convention to mid-December.
In a news release, the Alaska Federation of Natives says health and safety concerns, including an increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations statewide, factored into the decision.
The Alaska Federation of Natives plans to hold a December in-person convention in Anchorage, with a virtual option. The board will make a final decision on the 2021 convention in mid-October.
Exact dates, time or agenda will be announced at a later date.
