Noting the governmentâs âsacred obligation to Americaâs veterans,â Interior Secretary Deb Haaland pledged to expedite applications by Alaska Native Vietnam-era service members for federal land allotments.
âInterior Department personnel are moving forward expeditiously to ensure that Alaska Native Vietnam-era veterans are able to select the land allotments they are owed, with an expansive selection area,â Haaland said in a prepared statement.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management is accepting and processing applications for allotments within 1.6 million acres currently available to eligible veterans.
âI know the sacrifices made by those who serve in our military, and I will not ignore a right owed to our Alaska Native Vietnam-era veterans,â said Haaland, whose father served during the Vietnam War.

The Bureau of Land Management will allow Alaska Native Vietnam War veterans to apply for allotments within a 28-million-acre region of federal land that the Trump administration had proposed opening to new mining and oil and natural gas development.
