1 SEC. 102. FINDINGS.

2 The Congress makes the following findings:

3 (1) The Alaska National Interest Lands Con4 servation Act (94 Stat. 2371), enacted on December

5 2, 1980, established Gates of the Arctic National

6 Park and Preserve and Gates of the Arctic Wilder7 ness. The village of Anaktuvuk Pass, located in the

8 highlands of the central Brooks Range, is virtually

9 surrounded by these national park and wilderness

10 lands and is the only Native village located within

11 the boundary of a National Park System unit in

12 Alaska.

13 (2) Unlike most other Alaskan Native commu14 nities, the village of Anaktuvuk Pass is not located

15 on a major river, lake, or coastline that can be used

16 as a means of access. The residents of Anaktuvuk

17 Pass have relied increasingly on snow machines in

18 winter and all-terrain vehicles in summer as their

19 primary means of access to pursue caribou and

20 other subsistence resources.

21 (3) In a 1983 land exchange agreement, linear

22 easements were reserved by the Inupiat Eskimo peo23 ple for use of all-terrain vehicles across certain na24 tional park lands, mostly along stream and river

25 banks. These linear easements proved unsatisfactory,

26 because they provided inadequate access to subsist-
3

•HR 4746 EH

1 ence resources while causing excessive environmental

2 impact from concentrated use.

3 (4) The National Park Service and the

4 Nunamiut Corporation initiated discussions in 1985

5 to address concerns over the use of all-terrain vehi6 cles on park and wilderness land. These discussions

7 resulted in an agreement, originally executed in

8 1992 and thereafter amended in 1993 and 1994,

9 among the National Park Service, Nunamiut Cor10 poration, the City of Anaktuvuk Pass, and Arctic

11 Slope Regional Corporation. Full effectuation of this

12 agreement, as amended, by its terms requires ratifi13 cation by the Congress.

9 SEC. 302. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

10 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that:

14 with the prehistoric Sinaguan culture of northern

15 Arizona.

16 (2) Major cultural resources associated with the

17 purposes of Walnut Canyon National Monument are

18 near the boundary and are currently managed under

17 Valley were instrumental in the development of the

18 industrial revolution.

20 contains a vast number of discovered and unre21 covered Native American and colonial archaeological

22 sites significant to the history of North America and

25 represents one of the last traditional upland farming
34

•HR 4746 EH

1 and mill village communities in the northeastern

5 evolution of the prewar colonial period. Leading the

6 transformation from Puritan to Yankee, the ‘‘Great

7 Awakening’’ religious revival and early political de8 velopment leading up to and during the War of

9 Independence.

10 (9) Many local, regional and State agencies,

15 and better plan for the future.
