	Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Native claims to almost all of Alaska were extinguished in exchange for approximately one-ninth of the state's land plus $962.5 million in compensation.
		Of the approximately 80,000 Natives enrolled under ANCSA, those living in villages (approximately 2/3rds of the total) would receive 100 shares in both a village and a regional corporation.
		The remaining 1/3rd would be "at large" shareholders with 100 shares in a regional corporation plus additional rights to revenue from regional mineral and timber resources.

	Unforgiving geographies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		ANCSA provided a federal land settlement extinguishing aboriginal claims to the state’s 152 million hectares of land and territorial waters by providing Alaska Natives with 17.8 million hectares of land and nearly one billion dollars.
		ANCSA abruptly moved Alaska Natives into the mainstream of American capitalism as corporate owners focused on financial performance rather than land stewardship, and with little regard to existing organizational structures or behaviors and lifestyles foreign to capital accumulation.
		The ANCSA Section 9 requirement that 70 percent of net revenues from the sale of natural resources conveyed as part of the settlement be shared among all regional corporations acts as an incentive to increase local employment or pay supranormal wages as a way of keeping revenues within the region.

		The purpose of ANCSA was to legislate the terms by which Alaska Natives could acquire title to their lands.
		ANCSA did not attempt to determine the number of acres to which the Alaska Natives might be able to prove an aboriginal title.
		Section 17 (d) (2) of ANCSA authorized the Secretary to withdraw 80 million acres of land to be studied for possible additions to national parks, wilderness, wildlife refuges, and wild and scenic rivers systems.

	A Primer on Alaska Native Sovereignty, by Douglas K. Mertz
		ANCSA organized Alaskan Natives into twelve regional corporations, loosely designed along ethnic and geographical lines, plus one corporation for Alaskan Natives living outside the state; and village corporations for each "Native village" with a predominantly Native character and a Native population of at least 25.
		Finally, a third panel of the Ninth Circuit held that IRA organization and ANCSA Native village status were merely factors to be considered regarding federal jurisdiction, but that as to tribal status in general, the courts must examine the factual circumstances to determine whether a modern Native group is the successor to an historical tribe.
		ANCSA was later amended to make the tax exemption permanent as long as the lands were not sold, leased, or developed.

	Nenana Fuel Co. v. Venetie (7/24/92), 834 P 2d 1229
		Any finding that ANCSA did not abolish native sovereignty clearly would be at odds with Congress' desire to abolish the reservation system and to avoid prolonged wardship or trusteeship of Alaska Natives.10 The substantive provisions of ANCSA further illuminate the irreconcilability of that Act with concepts of tribal sovereignty in Alaska.
		Moreover, the state argued that since the land was the sole asset of the ANCSA corporations and the membership of the Tribal Government differs from that of the corporations, the transfer could be subject to attack as an illegal transfer of corporate assets.
		ANCSA's legislative history reveals Congress' belief that recognition of Native Village corporations in place of the traditional unit in Native society, the village, maximized the local self-determination of Native groups while accomplishing the Act's goal of assimilating Natives into modern society.

		ANCSA as a land claims settlement in Alaska was preceded by centuries of conflict in the rest of America over land and values.
		ANCSA lands should not be confused with "Native Allotments" which are 120 acre parcels that were available under the 1887 Allotment Act.

	Alaska Native Regional Corporations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Alaska Native Regional Corporations (Alaska Native Corporations or ANCSA Corporations) were established in 1971 when the United States Congress passed the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) which settled land and financial claims made by the Alaska Natives and provided for the establishment of 13 regional corporations to administer those claims.
		Under ANCSA the state was originally divided into 12 regions, each represented by a "Native association" responsible for the enrollment of past and present residents of the region.
		During the 1970s, [ANCSA Regional and Village Corporations]] were allowed to select land in and around native villages in the state in proportion to their enrolled populations.

	ICT [2005/04/21] Raboff: ANCSA puts Native lands and rights at risk
		The ANCSA is an illegal law because it is not a treaty, and required 13 regional corporations to share revenues.
		The ANCSA requirement for the settlement of federal land issues was a long battle played out by the federal and state governments and the Alaska Native corporations.
		Although ANCSA legislation was intended to address land issues and Native rights for Alaska Natives, it has also been used as a bargaining tool to garner concessions and has put Native lands at risk.

	Alaska v. Native Village of Venetie Tribal Government, 522 U.S. 520 (1998)
		In his view, ANCSA was intended to be a departure from traditional Indian policy: “It attempted to preserve Indian tribes, but simultaneously attempted to sever them from the land; it attempted to leave them as sovereign entities for some purposes, but as sovereigns without territorial reach.” Id., at 1303.
		Because ANCSA revoked the Venetie Reservation, and because no Indian allotments are at issue, whether the Tribe’s land is Indian country depends on whether it falls within the “dependent Indian communities” prong of the statute, §1151(b).
		After ANCSA, federal protection of the Tribe’s land is essentially limited to a statutory declaration that the land is exempt from adverse possession claims, real property taxes, and certain judgments as long as it has not been sold, leased, or developed.

	The Annotated ANCSA: How the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act Came About
		The principal parties that shaped the compromise of ANCSA were the federal and state governments, the oil companies, conservationists and the Alaska Federation of Natives.
		ANCSA was signed into law by President Nixon, after the Alaska Federation of Natives approved the bill by a vote of 511 delegates for, and 56 against.
		It was assumed that Native children would receive the benefits of ANCSA through their parents and that, as owners of the land, Alaska Natives could create such institutions, as they felt appropriate, to protect the land for the benefit of future generations.

	Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act
		This section is an extremely unusual aspect of ANCSA and it took the corporations about 10 years to hammer out an agreement that spelled out exactly how this would be undertaken.
		The land conveyed under ANCSA was 44 million acres, which was a little more than 10 percent of the entire state.
		But what’s really important to keep in mind when discussing ANCSA is that it is a document that was developed for a group of human beings who had a very real claim to their ancestral home in Alaska.

	STATE OF ALASKA V. NATIVE VILLAGE, 96-35042 (11-20-96)
		Two Native villages were recognized by ANCSA within the boundaries of the former Venetie Reservation and two Native village corporations were thus established for the Neets'aii Gwich'in: one in Venetie (the Venetie Indian Cor- poration), and one in Arctic Village (the Neets'aii Corpora- tion).
		Section 1618(b) of ANCSA permits a village corporation to acquire title to "any reserve set aside for the use or benefit of its stockholders or members prior to Decem- ber 18, 1971." In exchange, the village corporation forfeits any claim to land or funds distributed by the regional corpora- tion under ANCSA.
		In fact, various ele- ments of ANCSA indicate that a federal set aside was con- veyed by the Act and that federal superintendence of Alaska Natives was preserved under the Act.
