Alaska Natives from five Southeast Alaska communities could form new Native corporations and receive federal land. The public could still use the land for subsistence and noncommercial recreation, but the new corporations could set reasonable rules.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, 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.
Alaska Native Landless Equity Act is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. Ordered to be reported with an amendment in the nature of a substitute favorably.
Latest action on S. 2554: Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. Ordered to be reported with an amendment in the nature of a substitute favorably.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects Alaska Natives tied to Haines, Ketchikan, Petersburg, Tenakee, and Wrangell. They could become shareholders in new Native corporations and benefit from land, stock, trusts, and possible future income. It also affects public land users, guides, the Forest Service, the State of Alaska, and nearby Native corporations because land ownership and access rules would change.
Why this matters: This bill matters because five Southeast Alaska Native communities say they were left out of the original Native land settlement. It would give them new corporations, land, and a way to support shareholders. At the same time, it would change who owns and manages some federal land now used by the public. The bill tries to protect public access and existing land rights while moving control of these lands to Native corporations.
