Compensates the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community for land taken without just compensation in 1854.
The Keweenaw Bay Indian Community Land Claim Settlement Act of 2025 acknowledges the uncompensated taking by the Federal Government of Reservation Swamp Lands and Reservation Canal Lands within the L’Anse Indian Reservation. The Act provides compensation to the Community for these lands, which were guaranteed to them under the 1854 Treaty. The settlement aims to extinguish the Community's claims to these lands and confirm the ownership of current landowners. The Community can use the compensation for lawful purposes, excluding land acquisition for gaming.
