In the record
The atlas records 1 broken treaty promise here, including Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (1971): extinguishment of aboriginal title by statute. Land has come back here: Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) and NANA Regional Corporation land transfers (Alaska).
Written from the records linked here; open any of them for its sources.
Everything here is linked at state level only. The atlas does not look up addresses or parcels, and a cession touching a state does not tell you whose land a particular place is.
