The Alaska Native Brotherhood Hall, built in 1914 on the waterfront in Sitka, was the first facility owned by the organization. For the significance of the ANB, the hall has been designated a National Historic Landmark. In 1915, the Alaska Native Sisterhood (ANS) was formed by women in Wrangell, Alaska. ANS worked with ANB on civil rights and voting rights issues. Also in 1915, ANB and ANS were able to help pass the Native Citizen Act.
