Contact Congress about H.R. 2815: Cape Fox Land Entitlement Finalization Act of 2025

Cape Fox Corporation can trade its remaining township land entitlement for about 180 acres in the Tongass National Forest. The surface goes to Cape Fox and the underground estate goes to Sealaska, finishing both corporations' claims under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Cape Fox Land Entitlement Finalization Act of 2025 is a House bill signed into law. The latest recorded action: Became Public Law No: 119-93.

Latest action on H.R. 2815: Became Public Law No: 119-93.

Who this affects: This bill primarily affects Cape Fox Corporation shareholders and the community of Saxman, Alaska, as well as Sealaska Corporation and its shareholders. It also touches anyone who currently uses the affected Tongass forest land.

Why this matters: This bill resolves land promises made to Alaska Natives decades ago under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. Getting clear title to specific land lets these Native corporations decide how to use it — for cultural preservation, economic development, subsistence, or conservation.

Key provisions in H.R. 2815

  • Waives the normal ANCSA rule so Cape Fox does not have to take its remaining roughly 185 acres inside the Saxman core township
  • Lets Cape Fox select about 180 acres of federal surface land in the Tongass National Forest, based on the "Cape Fox Village Corporation Final Selection" map from December 18, 2023
  • The Secretary of the Interior must transfer the surface estate to Cape Fox once it sends written notice selecting the land
  • The Secretary must also transfer the subsurface (underground) estate of the same land to Sealaska Corporation after the surface goes to Cape Fox
  • These transfers are treated as fully completing Cape Fox's entitlement under ANCSA section 16 and Sealaska's subsurface entitlement under ANCSA section 14(f)
