Cape Fox Land Entitlement Finalization Act of 2025

This bill changes the rules for the Cape Fox Corporation, which is an Alaska Native village corporation for the village of Saxman, Alaska. Instead of requiring Cape Fox to take about 185 acres of land near Saxman that it was previously supposed to receive, the bill allows it to select about 180 acres of land in the Tongass National Forest instead. If Cape Fox notifies the Department of the Interior of its new land choice within 90 days, the government must transfer that land to Cape Fox, and the underground rights to that land must be transferred to the Sealaska Corporation, which represents Alaska Natives in southeastern Alaska. The bill also makes sure the public keeps the right to access the transferred land.
