Description
Description | The Trump administration transferred 28,000 acres in Northwest Alaska to the NANA Regional Corporation, controlled by the Inupiat tribe, putting more land near a proposed mining road under local control. NANA supports construction of a road to the Ambler mining district, an area with copper, zinc, and lead deposits, although it severed ties last year to a project proposed by an Alaska state agency. The Biden administration later rejected that road project due to environmental concerns. |
