Our role as stewards of the land is very important to us. Educating the public about Alaska Native land ownership and issues related to trespass is one of Doyon’s ongoing commitments. Our Lands Department produces comprehensive, region-wide land status maps and important information on trespass to a variety of stakeholders. This information is provided to all guides, outfitters and air taxi operators in Alaska and can be found in the public information rooms of numerous federal and state agencies.

Doyon partners to identify trespass problems, working together to reduce the number of incidents through a range of efforts including:

• Providing village-specific brochures with related land use information to local travelers and for local distribution.
• Establishing land use and trespass information kiosks.
• Posting land signs.
• Publishing land status notifications in newspapers.
• Providing information and contacts to tribal or village authority, federal agencies, and Alaska State Troopers.

Doyon encourages commercial or state and federal agencies to apply for permits in a timely fashion for requests for Doyon lands. Requests must include the timeline, objective, equipment use, total participants, and how, if any, information about Doyon lands will be used publicly.

Doyon shareholders must apply for commercial permits for camps and cabins, wood cutting, house log harvesting, and trails on Doyon land. Doyon works to ensure that there are no conflicting land use in place and that there are no negative impacts on cultural resources.
