Alexander Creek Recognized as Village Corporation: New Rights and Claims
This act amends the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, recognizing Alexander Creek, Incorporated, as a Village Corporation. This means the Alexander Creek community will gain new land and resource rights and will negotiate a settlement of claims with the U.S. government. Community members will no longer receive direct benefits from the regional corporation, and future resource payments will go to their new Village Corporation.
