State to return 31 acres to Alaska Native village


The Alaska Native village of Minto is set to reclaim its old village on Tuesday.

The villagers left Old Minto in 1969 due to constant flooding. The state ended up seizing the 31-acre site, saying it was abandoned.

The village will now get the land back at a ceremony tomorrow. The site is still used today as the Old Minto Family Recovery Camp, a sobriety camp.
