Cape Fox Land Entitlement Finalization Act of 2024

The Cape Fox Land Entitlement Finalization Act of 2024 finalizes land entitlement for the Cape Fox Village Corporation (representing the Native Village of Saxman, Alaska) by enabling them to select and receive approximately 180 acres of Federal land in the Tongass National Forest. It waives a requirement forcing Cape Fox to select land within a specific township, which was previously blocked by a 6-mile restriction from Ketchikan, Alaska. The Secretary of the Interior must convey the surface land to Cape Fox and the subsurface estate to Sealaska Corporation within 180 days of a selection notice. This resolves a unique situation where Cape Fox could not complete its land selection under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act due to historical restrictions.
