SEC. 302. ANAKTUVUK PASS LAND EXCHANGE.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act
(94 Stat. 2371), enacted on December 2, 1980, established Gates
of the Arctic National Park and Preserve and Gates of the
Arctic Wilderness. The Village of Anaktuvuk Pass, located in
the highlands of the central Brooks Range is virtually sur-
rounded 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 communities, 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
H. R. 4236—26
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 people for use of all-
terrain vehicles across certain national park lands, mostly along
stream and river banks. These linear easements proved unsatis-
factory, because they provided inadequate access to subsistence
resources while causing excessive environmental impact from
concentrated use.
(4) The National Park Service and the Nunamiut Corpora-
tion initiated discussions in 1985 to address concerns over
the use of all-terrain vehicles 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 Corporation, the City
of Anaktuvuk Pass, and Arctic Slope Regional Corporation.
Full effectuation of this agreement, as amended, by its terms
requires ratification by the Congress.
