Program update: Sept. 14, 2022
Public Land Order 7912 is now in effect, opening approximately 27 million acres of land for selection under the Alaska Native Veteran Land Allotment Program.
In 1971, the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) repealed the Alaska Native Allotment Act, which allowed eligible Alaska Natives to apply for land allotments. Alaska Natives who served in the military during the Vietnam-era may have missed their opportunity to apply. In 2019, The Department of Interior (DOI) reopened this program and extended the deadline to apply until 2025.
The Alaska Native Veteran Land Allotment Program is open to all eligible Alaska Natives who served in the military between Aug. 5, 1964, and Dec. 31, 1971. If eligible, Alaska Native veterans may select up to 160 acres of federal land.
Below are resources and guides to help our eligible shareholders to act on this opportunity.
