Description: Land allotments are land conveyances from the Federal Government to qualified individual applicants as authorized by law. The Native Allotment Act of 1906 authorized individual Indians, Aleuts, and Eskimos in Alaska to acquire an allotment consisting of one or more parcels of land not to exceed a total of 160 acres. Alaska Natives filed approximately 10,000 allotment applications for almost 16,000 parcels of land statewide under this Act before its repeal in 1971. This shape file characterizes the geographic representation of land parcels within the State of Alaska contained by the Native Allotment category. It has been extracted from data sets used to produce the State status plats. This data set includes cases noted on the digital status plats up to one day prior to data extraction. Each feature has an associated attribute record, including a Land Administration System (LAS) file-type and file-number which serves as an index to related LAS case-file information. Additional LAS case-file and customer information may be obtained at: http://www.dnr.state.ak.us/las/LASMenu.cfm Those requiring more information regarding State land records should contact the Alaska Department of Natural Resources Public Information Center directly.
