Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act : a "living settlement?" / Len Sillanpaa.: R32-334/1988E-PDF
"On December 18, 1971, the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) was signed into law by the President of the United States. This legislation extinguished all Native claims of aboriginal title by the Indians, Aleut and Inuit living in Alaska, including any aboriginal hunting and fishing rights and any pending or statutory claims. In compensation, the Alaska native peoples received a total cash settlement of $962.5 million from both Federal and State governments and title, including both surface and subsurface, to 40 million acres of land (almost 1/9th of the total acreage of Alaska)"--Executive summary, p. [1].
