TITLE 16—CONSERVATION
§ 3113
the public lands and by Alaska Natives on Na-
tive lands is essential to Native physical, eco-
nomic, traditional, and cultural existence and
to non-Native physical, economic, traditional,
and social existence;
(2) the situation in Alaska is unique in that,
in most cases, no practical alternative means
are available to replace the food supplies and
other items gathered from fish and wildlife
which supply rural residents dependent on sub-
sistence uses;
(3) continuation of the opportunity for sub-
sistence uses of resources on public and other
lands in Alaska is threatened by the increas-
ing population of Alaska, with resultant pres-
sure on subsistence resources, by sudden de-
cline in the populations of some wildlife spe-
cies which are crucial subsistence resources,
by increased accessibility of remote areas con-
taining subsistence resources, and by taking of
fish and wildlife in a manner inconsistent with
recognized principles of fish and wildlife man-
agement;
(4) in order to fulfill the policies and pur-
poses of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement
Act [43 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.] and as a matter of
equity, it is necessary for the Congress to in-
voke its constitutional authority over Native
affairs and its constitutional authority under
the property clause and the commerce clause
to protect and provide the opportunity for
continued subsistence uses on the public lands
by Native and non-Native rural residents; and
(5) the national interest in the proper regu-
lation, protection, and conservation of fish
and wildlife on the public lands in Alaska and
the continuation of the opportunity for a sub-
sistence way of life by residents of rural Alas-
ka require that an administrative structure be
