Whereas by the proclamation of November 30, 1949 of the Secretary of the Interior, certain lands in Alaska were reserved for the exclusive use and occupancy of the native inhabitants of the villages of Shungnak and Kobuk, Alaska, and
Whereas such proclamation provided, among other things, that it should become effective only upon its approval by a majority of the natives residing in the area, voting in the manner prescribed in section 2 of the act of May 1, 1936 (49 Stat. 1250; 48 U.S.C. 358a), and
Whereas on April 24, 1950, the natives of the villages of Shungnak and Kobuk rejected the reservation:
Now, therefore, pursuant to the authority contained in the said section 2 of the act of May 1, 1936, the proclamation of November 30, 1949 is hereby revoked.
