Cape Fox Land Entitlement Finalization Act of 2025

This law changes the rules for the Cape Fox Corporation, 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 law allows it to choose about 180 acres of land in the Tongass National Forest instead. If Cape Fox notifies the Department of the Interior of its choice within 90 days, the government must transfer that land to Cape Fox, and the underground rights to that land must go to the Sealaska Corporation, which represents Alaska Natives in southeastern Alaska. The law also keeps a public access easement on the transferred land, meaning the public can still use it in certain ways.
