In this photo taken May 6, 2019, is Nelson Angapak standing outside the Federal Building in Anchorage, Alaska. Angapak is advocating for land allotments for Alaska Native veterans who were serving in Vietnam when the allotment program ended in 1971. Congress in March passed a major lands bill that opens the door for more Native veterans to apply for tracts of land of up to 160 acres. It follows a more limited application period in 1998, an opportunity that many veterans said wasn't enough. (Marc Lester/Anchorage Daily News via AP)
