Alaska Native Vietnam-era Veteran Land Allotment Program Outreach Efforts
During the rule promulgation up to the issuance of the first Certificate of Allotment, we held more than 110 outreach efforts for Alaska Native entities. In the last year, we have conducted 17 in-person outreach sessions to help veterans and their families apply for lands and to provide additional information about our land transfer programs. The following is a summary from our ongoing conversation/outreach record from May 2019 - present:
