Arctic Council Engagement
As part of the Arctic Council framework, AIA collaborates with Arctic States, Working Groups, Observers and other Permanent Participants. To learn more about the Arctic Council please check out “A Primer for Aleut Communities and Representatives To Understand The Arctic Council.”
The U.S. Permanent Participants Support funding is issued to AIA to support of all four United States Permanent Participants (PP’s); They are Arctic Athabascan Council (AAC), Gwich’in Council International (GCI), Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC) and Aleut International Association (AIA). This funding supports their participation in Arctic Council-related meetings.
