Alaskan Independence Party

Uncommon card · No. 169601

The Alaskan Independence Party (AIP) was an Alaskan nationalist political party in the United States that advocated for an in-state referendum which would include the option of Alaska becoming an independent country. The party embraced a right wing libertarian ideology that supported gun rights, direct democracy, privatization, homeschooling, abolishing federal land ownership, and limited government. Wally Hickel was elected as the Governor of Alaska in 1990 under the Independence Party, making it one of the few third parties to have controlled a governor's seat; however, Hickel transferred to the Republican Party before the 1994 election. On December 7, 2025, the AIP's board voted to dissolve the party. In response, former party chair Bob Bird formed a successor party called Alaskan Party.
