                            TITLE 25--INDIANS
 
                  CHAPTER 24--INDIAN LAND CONSOLIDATION
 
Sec. 2219. Application to Alaska


(a) Findings

    Congress finds that--
        (1) numerous academic and governmental organizations have 
    studied the nature and extent of fractionated ownership of Indian 
    land outside of Alaska and have proposed solutions to this problem; 
    and
        (2) despite these studies, there has not been a comparable 
    effort to analyze the problem, if any, of fractionated ownership in 
    Alaska.

(b) Application of chapter to Alaska

    Except as provided in this section, this chapter shall not apply to 
land located within Alaska.

(c) Rule of construction

    Nothing in this section shall be construed to constitute a 
ratification of any determination by any agency, instrumentality, or 
court of the United States that may support the assertion of tribal 
jurisdiction over allotment lands or interests in such land in Alaska.

                       References in Text

    This chapter, referred to in subsec. (b), was in the original ``this 
Act'', which was translated as reading ``this title'', meaning title II 
of Pub. L. 97-459, to reflect the probable intent of Congress.
