WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 2002 A bill to allow Alaska Native veterans of the Vietnam War to receive allotments is being pushed again by Alaska's Congressional delegation. The legislation would allow Native veterans to apply for a 160-acre allotments if they served between Aug. 5, 1964, and May 7, 1975. Currently, only those who served, or their survivors, during the years 1969 through 1971 can apply. Alaska Native allotments officially ceased with the passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act in 1971. It has been amended twice to allow for veteran applications. Get the Story:
