ANCSA at 50

The Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act was enacted in 1971 to settle aboriginal land title claims with Alaska Natives. Part of ANCSA provides for each specific regional or village corporation to select federal lands for conveyance within their legally defined regions.

The Alaska regional and village corporation selections process was completed in the early 70s, and the BLM is currently working through some of the more complicated conveyances and patents. This video captures their thoughts on working through this important piece of history.
