Mike Dunleavy speaks on a proposal on May 5, 2021 at the Walter Soboleff Building in Juneau, Alaska. JUNEAU, Alaska (KTUU) - Gov. Mike Dunleavy is proposing to allow Alaska Native Vietnam-era veterans to exchange an allotment of federal land for state land closer to their cultural homelands. Under the governor’s proposal that would be limited to Native veterans who receive a parcel of federal land under the 2019 Dingell Act. The battle to resolve the lands issue has gone on for almost 50 years. While serving overseas, some Native Vietnam-era veterans missed out on an allotment owed to them of up to 160 acres. Over the decades, two programs have been set up to fix that but roughly 2,800 Native veterans have still not gotten their land.

Statement regarding next steps on Alaska Public Lands Orders review

Statement regarding next steps on Alaska Public Lands Orders review The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced next steps today in its review of several Public Lands Orders signed at the end of the previous Administration. Please see below for a quote from BLM Deputy Director for Policy and Programs Nada Culver:   The BLM will undertake government-to-government Tribal consultation as the first step in its review of five Public Lands Orders signed in January 2021. Consultation with Alaska Native Tribes will give us the best understanding of Tribes interests and equities in these lands as we begin our work, and will help inform our efforts to prioritize land selections by Alaska Native Vietnam Veterans. We are committed to moving forward expeditiously with our review, and will issue formal consultation notices within two weeks.

The effective date for the public lands orders, which affect 28 million acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land in Alaska, will be delayed for two years, according to the Interior announcement. “During this time, the BLM will work to correct defects associated with initial analysis under the National Environmental Policy Act, including inadequate review of potential impacts on subsistence hunting and fishing,” the statement reads. “As part of the supplemental review, the BLM will engage the public and hold Tribal consultations.”
