Summary:
On December 10, 2004, the President signed into law P.L. 108-452 , the Alaska Land Transfer
Acceleration Act. The act represents an attempt to clear up the conflicting land claims of three
distinct parties in Alaska -- the State, Alaska Native Corporations, and Native allottees -- in time for
the fiftieth anniversary of Alaska's statehood in 2009. These claims are grounded in the Alaska
Statehood Act, the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, and the Native Allotment Act of 1906.
This report provides a background on these Acts, the claims they support, and a summary of the
provisions of the Alaska Land Transfer Acceleration Act.
