Cape Fox Land Entitlement Finalization Act of 2025

What this bill does

  • This bill allows Cape Fox Corporation to receive different land than previously required to fulfill its Alaska Native land entitlement.
  • Cape Fox, an Alaska Native village corporation in Saxman, Alaska, can now select approximately 180 acres in Tongass National Forest instead of 185 acres near its village.
  • Interior must convey the selected surface land to Cape Fox and subsurface rights to Sealaska Corporation within 90 days of the bill's enactment, with public access easements reserved.

    How might allowing Cape Fox to select land in Tongass National Forest instead of near Saxman affect local logging, recreation, and conservation in that area?

  2. 02

    What does it mean that Sealaska Corporation receives subsurface rights while Cape Fox gets surface rights, and who benefits from this split arrangement?

  3. 03

    Why was the original 185-acre entitlement near the village changed to 180 acres in the forest, and what problem does this bill solve for Cape Fox?
