"regional Native corporation"

Sealaska is helping its shareholders with burial and cremation costs. The Southeast regional Native corporation’s board voted Monday to offer bereavement benefits of up to $1,000.

Sealaska’s 22,950 shareholders will receive payments from $596 to $186 for those with 100 shares. The amount depends on the shareholder class.

Should Southeast’s regional Native corporation shrink its governing board? That’s a question before Sealaska shareholders. Management opposes the change.

The Sealaska regional Native corporation will distribute $10.5 million to shareholders in November. That brings the 2016 total payout to a $26.4 million.

Approximately 22,000 tribal members will each get between $129 and $1,082, depending on their status. Dividends will be distributed April 14.
