ANCSA Amendments

The ANCSA Amendments are updates to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, originally enacted in 1971 to settle land claims of Alaska Native peoples. These amendments clarify and improve provisions related to Native land ownership, corporate governance, and resource management. They aim to streamline processes, increase economic opportunities, and enhance the ability of Native corporations to develop their resources effectively, ensuring that Alaska Native communities benefit from their land and cultural heritage while fostering sustainable growth.
