Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management Council
The Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management Council (AMBCC) was established in 1997 as a result of an amendment to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, allowing for the legal harvest of migratory birds by Indigenous Peoples in Alaska during the Spring and Summer. Learn how the AMBCC works through its partners to develop culturally sensitive regulations to allow for this unique harvest while conserving migratory bird populations in the Pacific Flyway.
About Our Presenter, Patty Schwalenberg:
Patty is Anishnaabe-kwe, an enrolled member of the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, located in northern Wisconsin. She has been working with Tribes from across the country in natural resource and environmental program development and management for the past 35 years. Her educational background in cultural anthropology has equipped her to work across cultures to develop co-management programs, cooperative partnerships, and other projects between Tribal Governments and state, federal, and nongovernmental organizations that utilize and honor all ways of knowing. She currently serves as the Executive Director of the Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management Council.
