The Tanana Chiefs Conference (TCC) is a non-profit Alaska Native corporation and tribal consortium that serves 42 villages in Interior Alaska. While primarily focused on health, social services, and regional Native unity, TCC has been involved in projects related to energy and broadband access in rural Alaskan communities, which can be vital for accessing space-related resources and communication. They work to address the unique needs and challenges faced by Alaska Natives in a vast and remote region. TCC partners with various organizations, including Alaska Communications and other Native corporations, to improve infrastructure and connectivity in the region.
