News Home More from News of the North Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - Tlingit & Haida (T&H) was awarded nearly $2 million from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to regionally expand the Tribe's greenhouse program. With federal funding, T&H will launch a Regional Community Greenhouse program to create enhanced food security and food sovereignty for tribal citizens. In 2019, T&H adopted a Climate Change Adaptation plan and created a second plan in 2021. The plan includes specific risks that climate change poses to food security in Southeast Alaska communities, such as disrupting the harvesting of traditional foods and an increased cost or lack of imported foods due to supply chain issues.
