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.

That sentence, in plain words
Two pieces of land are listed. One is about 40 acres. The other is about 145 acres.
What this is about
The listing uses map words. They point to exact squares on a land map.

What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out
Both things the section does: the waiver in subsection (a), and the description in subsection (b) of the land the waiver covers.
Nothing in the section is left out. The land descriptions are recorded as one entry rather than one entry per parcel, because the two parcels are named for a single purpose.
The waiver runs against section 16(b) of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, which is not indexed here, so nothing recorded says what that section requires. Subsection (a) puts the land at approximately 185 acres and the two parcels in subsection (b) are given as approximately 40 acres and approximately 144.57 acres; the site records both figures as printed and reconciles neither.
