What Is the Legislation?

The bill is a solution to a very long-standing problem.
The Southeast Alaska lands bill proposes to finally complete the long-overdue return of sacred, cultural, traditional and historic sites to the Native people of Southeast Alaska.

Sealaska shareholders, Southeast Alaska communities and the other Regional Native Corporations will benefit greatly.
The possession of these lands will help us maintain our critical resource development operation—the backbone of our Corporation—and continue our role as the largest contributor to the shared ANCSA resource revenue pool: Section 7(i).

The bill is a “win-win."
If it becomes law, the general public would gain a large amount of old-growth, roadless forest, while Sealaska would gain ownership of largely second-growth, roaded land, as well as important cultural, economic and historic sites.
