Bill overview
This bill, the Alaska Native Village Municipal Lands Restoration Act of 2025, amends the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) to allow Alaska Native village corporations to regain ownership of land they previously held in trust for potential municipal governments. Currently, ANCSA requires these corporations to convey this land to the state or Alaska. The bill removes this requirement and allows for the dissolution of the trust and reversion of the land to the village corporation upon a formal resolution by the corporation and the village residents. This change aims to provide greater flexibility and control over land assets for Alaska Native communities.
