## Summary

**Converts Alexander Creek, Incorporated from a Group Corporation into a Village Corporation and recognizes Alexander Creek as a Native village under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act.** The bill would create a path for land-claim talks with the federal government and change how regional payments and property are handled for the community. - Village members: Members would stop receiving Cook Inlet Region, Incorporated at-large shareholder benefits under ANCSA section 7(m). Future regional resource payments would be retained by Alexander Creek, Incorporated under ANCSA section 7(j) and the Region is not liable for damages from that change. - Corporate and negotiation rules: Alexander Creek, Incorporated would need to amend its State charter to convert to a Village Corporation and, after an offer to negotiate within 30 days, must enter an agreement with the Secretary to settle aboriginal land claims within 13 months. The agreement must seek parity, to the maximum extent practicable, with similar Village Corporation agreements in value. - Federal property and land entitlements: The agreement may include coordination with the General Services Administration on surplus property and would make ACI eligible to receive surplus real property under 40 U.S.C. 1303. The bill preserves ACI's existing land entitlements and does not reduce lands selected or conveyed to ACI before enactment.
