Cape Fox is an Alaska Native village corporation for the Alaska Native village of Saxman, Alaska.</p><p>Specifically, the bill states that Cape Fox shall not be required to receive its previously selected land of approximately 185 acres located within the township in which the Alaska Native village of Saxman, Alaska, is located. Instead, the bill allows Cape Fox to receive&nbsp;land outside of Cape Fox's current exterior selection boundary upon written notice of the new selection to the Department of the Interior.&nbsp;</p><p>In particular, if Cape Fox submits written notice of its selection of approximately&nbsp;180 acres of surface land within the&nbsp;Tongass National Forest in Alaska to Interior within 90 days of the bill's enactment, then Interior must convey the federal land to Cape Fox. Upon conveyance of the surface estate of the federal land to Cape Fox, Interior must convey the subsurface estate of the federal land to Sealaska Corporation (the Alaska Native regional corporation representing southeastern Alaska).</p><p>The bill reserves a public access easement on the federal land conveyed to Cape Fox and Sealaska.</p>","updateDate":"2026-03-24T12:48:03Z"},"markets":[],"stateBills":[],"meta":{"sources":["congress.gov"],"latencyMs":917,"ts":"2026-04-17T15:14:30.314Z"},"nextActions":{"inspect":[],"related":[{"description":"Search related legislation","method":"GET","url":"/api/public/query-gov?q=Cape%20Fox%20Land%20Entitlement%20Finalization%20Act%20of%202025"}]}}
