Law

This bill lets a Native village corporation near Saxman, Alaska, swap some leftover land rights for about 180 acres in the Tongass National Forest.
The Interior Department must transfer the surface land to the Cape Fox village corporation if they ask for it in writing.
The underground rights, like minerals, under that land would go to another Native corporation called Sealaska.
People will still be able to cross the area to reach nearby national forest land because a public access path is kept.
Any current legal uses on that land, like existing trails, roads, or permits, would stay in place unless all sides agree to change them.
