This is the acronym for Alaska Native Sisterhood. The organization was formed in Wrangell in 1915 by Eva Blake, President, Louise Bradley, Vice President, Josephine Ukas, Secretary, Tillie Tamareee, Elizabeth Desmond, Jessie Rinehard, Louise Kasunk, and Susie Tacook. The preamble of their constitution reads: The purpose of this organization is to complete the organization of the ALASKA NATIVE BROTHERHOOD and thus aid in the fight for the progress of better citizenship, pure lives, and a complete education for our children, and for business independence. In 2011, at the Convention in Klawock the ANB Convention, the organization voted to adopt the new Constitution and bylaws of the Alaska Native Brotherhood and the Alaska Native Sisterhood. The new mission has become "The mission of the ANB and ANS is to better the lives of Native people and their families; to fight for civil rights and land rights for all Native people; to share the cultural knowledge, wisdom, and artistic beauty of Native tribal societies; and to strive for a spirit of brotherhood and sisterhood among all people."
