AN ACT
To provide for the exchange of lands within Gates of the
Arctic National Park and Preserve, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
TITLE 
I—ANAKTUVUK 
PASS
LAND EXCHANGE AND WIL-
DERNESS REDESIGNATION
SEC. 101. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ‘‘Anaktuvuk Pass Land
Exchange and Wilderness Redesignation Act of 1994’’.
SEC. 102. FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Alaska National Interest Lands Con-
servation Act (94 Stat. 2371), enacted on December
2, 1980, established Gates of the Arctic National
Park and Preserve and Gates of the Arctic Wilder-
ness. The village of Anaktuvuk Pass, located in the
highlands of the central Brooks Range, is virtually
surrounded by these national park and wilderness
lands and is the only Native village located within
the boundary of a National Park System unit in
Alaska.
(2) Unlike most other Alaskan Native commu-
nities, the village of Anaktuvuk Pass is not located
on a major river, lake, or coastline that can be used
as a means of access. The residents of Anaktuvuk
Pass have relied increasingly on snow machines in
winter and all-terrain vehicles in summer as their
primary means of access to pursue caribou and
other subsistence resources.
(3) In a 1983 land exchange agreement, linear
easements were reserved by the Inupiat Eskimo peo-
ple for use of all-terrain vehicles across certain na-
tional park lands, mostly along stream and river
banks. These linear easements proved unsatisfactory,
because they provided inadequate access to subsist-
ence resources while causing excessive environmental
impact from concentrated use.
(4) The National Park Service and the
Nunamiut Corporation initiated discussions in 1985
to address concerns over the use of all-terrain vehi-
cles on park and wilderness land. These discussions
resulted in an agreement, originally executed in
1992 and thereafter amended in 1993 and 1994,
among the National Park Service, Nunamiut Cor-
poration, the City of Anaktuvuk Pass, and Arctic
Slope Regional Corporation. Full effectuation of this
agreement, as amended, by its terms requires ratifi-
cation by the Congress.

Shetucket Rivers Valley National Heritage Corridor Act
of 1994’’.
SEC. 1202. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that:
(1) The Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley
in the State of Connecticut is one of the last un-
spoiled and undeveloped areas in the Northeastern
United States and has remained largely intact, in-
cluding important aboriginal archaeological sites, ex-
cellent water quality, beautiful rural landscapes,
architecturally significant mill structures and mill
villages, and large acreage of parks and other per-
manent open space.
(2) The State of Connecticut ranks last among
the 50 States in the amount of federally protected
park and open space lands within its borders and
lags far behind the other northeastern States in the
amount of land set-aside for public recreation.
(3) The beautiful rural landscapes, scenic vistas
and excellent water quality of the Quinebaug and
Shetucket Rivers contain significant undeveloped
recreational opportunities for people throughout the
United States.
(4) The Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley
is within a 2-hour drive of the major metropolitan
areas of New York City, Hartford, Providence,
Worcester, Springfield, and Boston. With the Presi-
dent’s Commission on Americans Outdoors reporting
that Americans are taking shorter ‘‘closer-to-home’’
vacations, the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Val-
ley represents important close-by recreational oppor-
tunities for significant population.
(5) The existing mill sites and other structures
throughout the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers
Valley were instrumental in the development of the
industrial revolution.
(6) The Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley
contains a vast number of discovered and unre-
covered Native American and colonial archaeological
sites significant to the history of North America and
the United States.
(7) The Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley
represents one of the last traditional upland farming
and mill village communities in the northeastern
United States.
(8) The Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley
played a nationally significant role in the cultural
evolution of the prewar colonial period. Leading the
transformation from Puritan to Yankee, the ‘‘Great
Awakening’’ religious revival and early political de-
velopment leading up to and during the War of
Independence.
(9) Many local, regional and State agencies,
businesses, and private citizens and the New Eng-
land Governors’ Conference have expressed an over-
whelming desire to combine forces: to work coopera-
tively to preserve and enhance resources region-wide
and better plan for the future.
