CERTIFIED TRIBAL
ARTIST PROGRAM

OUR STORY

Tlingit & Haida’s Certified Tribal Artist program promotes Alaska Native-made arts and handicrafts through certifying tribally-enrolled artists. The Certified Tribal Artist (CTA) program was developed in response to a resolution adopted by the Tribal Assembly in 2014 to certify tribally-enrolled artists who reside in and outside of Alaska.

To apply for certification through the Certified Tribal Artist program you must be a tribally enrolled citizen of Tlingit & Haida and age 18 or older.

“This is a wonderful way for the Tribe to exercise self-governance and support our tribal citizens. The artwork our tribal citizens, regardless of what state or country they reside in, is still authentic and Alaska Native-made”
