What the document says
“Notwithstanding section 16(b) of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (43 U.S.C. 1615(b)), Cape Fox shall not be required to select or receive conveyance of the approximately 185 acres of unconveyed land described in subsection (b) located within the township in which the Native Village of Saxman, Alaska, is located.”
Subsection (a). It relieves Cape Fox of any requirement to select or take conveyance of the roughly 185 acres of unconveyed land described in subsection (b), inside the township where the Native Village of Saxman sits, and it does so notwithstanding section 16(b) of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. That Act is not indexed here.
What the document actually says
“Notwithstanding section 16(b) of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (43 U.S.C. 1615(b)), Cape Fox shall not be required to select or receive conveyance of the approximately 185 acres of unconveyed land described in subsection (b) located within the township in which the Native Village of Saxman, Alaska, is located.”
That sentence, in plain words
Cape Fox does not have to pick or take this land. An older law would have made it. That older law is set aside here.
What this is about
The land is close to the village of Saxman. The next part lists the exact spots.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
