That Act is not indexed here.

What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The one thing the section does: it makes the conveyance under section 4 subject to a reserved public easement, and states what the easement is for.

Nothing in the section is left out. It runs to a single sentence.

The easement is reserved under section 17(b) of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, which is not indexed here, so nothing recorded says how such an easement is set, described or enforced. The section does not fix the width or route of the easement.
