The Metlakatla Indian Community is a tribal government located on Annette Island in Alaska, and it is the only Native Reservation in the state. Operating within the government administration sector, the community oversees governance and related activities for its residents. Founded on August 7, 1887, it became the first Alaska Native Reservation in 1891. The organization is based in Metlakatla, Alaska. Its work centers on governing the community and delivering essential services under the tribal government framework, with a mid-sized staff. In November 2020, the Metlakatla Indian Community filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, challenging a contract related to overhead costs for health care programs and services.
