Recognizes unrecognized Alaska Native communities and compensates them under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act.
The Unrecognized Southeast Alaska Native Communities Recognition and Compensation Act amends the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act to recognize and compensate the Native Villages of Haines, Ketchikan, Petersburg, Tenakee, and Wrangell. It authorizes these communities to form Urban Corporations, conveying them specific parcels of federal land. The act ensures these conveyances satisfy the communities' entitlement under the act. It also mandates mutual use agreements for National Forest System roads and related facilities, allowing continued public access.
