Description

An interim conveyance is temporary use to which a site or improved property is put until it is ready to be put to its future highest and best use. The Anchorage Interim Conveyance Pursuant to Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of December 18, 1971, is a legal provision that played a significant role in shaping the land rights and economic opportunities for Alaska Native peoples. Under this act, various types of conveyances were established to transfer land and resources to Alaska Native groups, particularly in the Anchorage region. One type of conveyance is the "Corporation Conveyance" which refers to the transfer of land and resources to Alaska Native regional and village corporations. These corporations were created to manage and govern the lands allocated to them, promoting economic development and self-sufficiency for their respective communities. The Corporation Conveyance aimed to enable Alaska Native groups to participate in natural resource management, business ventures, and cultural preservation. Another type is the "Village Conveyance" which involves the transfer of land and resources to individual Alaska Native villages. This provision recognized the significance of maintaining traditional ways of life and community governance. Village Conveyance facilitated the establishment of indigenous-owned organizations responsible for handling land usage, subsistence activities, and local development projects tailored to the specific needs of each village. Furthermore, the "Incorporation of Municipality" is a unique aspect of the Anchorage Interim Conveyance. It facilitated the incorporation of the Municipality of Anchorage, recognizing it as a separate entity within the state governance framework. This provision allowed the Municipality of Anchorage to manage land and resources within its boundaries while respecting the rights and interests of Alaska Native groups. By promoting land ownership and management, the Anchorage Interim Conveyance Pursuant to Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act empowered Alaska Native communities to have greater control over their lands and resources. It aimed to rectify historical injustices, promote economic development, preserve cultural heritage, and foster self-determination among indigenous peoples. Embracing sustainable practices, these land conveyances have contributed to the overall economic growth, preservation of cultural traditions, and improved quality of life for Alaska Native communities in the Anchorage region.
