The resolution encourages the United States Congress to address the inequitable aboriginal land claims affecting certain Alaska Native communities in Southeast Alaska that were excluded from land entitlements under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) of 1971. Specifically, it highlights the exclusion of five communities—Haines, Ketchikan, Petersburg, Wrangell, and Tenakee—resulting in significant disparities in economic opportunity, land stewardship, and community development compared to other Alaska Native communities. The resolution emphasizes the need for federal legislation to rectify this historical injustice and ensure equitable treatment of these communities, aligning with the original intent of the ANCSA.

Furthermore, the resolution calls on the Alaska State Legislature to express its support for federal efforts to provide a fair and comprehensive solution for the landless Alaska Native communities. It urges the state's congressional delegation to actively engage with affected communities and stakeholders to facilitate a collaborative approach in achieving a just resolution. The resolution aims to reinforce the importance of addressing these inequities to promote long-term economic self-determination, cultural continuity, and community stability for Alaska Native residents.
