The Cape Fox Land Entitlement Finalization Act of 2025 allows the Cape Fox Corporation, an Alaska Native village corporation for Saxman, Alaska, to receive different land to fulfill its land entitlement. The bill waives the requirement for Cape Fox to select land within its core township, allowing it to choose land outside its current boundary. If Cape Fox selects approximately 180 acres within the Tongass National Forest and notifies the Department of the Interior within 90 days, the land will be conveyed to Cape Fox. The surface land will go to Cape Fox, while the subsurface rights will be given to Sealaska Corporation. A public access easement will be reserved on the conveyed land.
