Description: This data set contains ANCSA Selected and Conveyed lands within Alaska with respect to the surface estate for Interimly Conveyed (IC), Patented (PA), Conveyed (CV), or Selected (FR) village and regional native lands. The Land Status attributes are a snapshot of the Land Information System Database and are only accurate as that database. The data is produced to the section (square mile) level. There is no dedicated land-to-village (or region) identifier in ALIS. What we do have is something called an "interest relationship" which identifies a case to a number of potentially interested parties. This retrieves a unique village or region most of the time, though not always. There are a few cases where an individual's name will be assigned. These are filtered out as we become aware of them. See Process Steps for a list of interest relationship codes used. Only native case types are used. There may be other non-native owners in a given section, but they are not displayed.
