Contention of US claim

If the Alaskan Legislature says there is a legitimate claim and the State Department says that any claims that might exist were not settled in the 1990 agreement why does this not qualify as a dispute? Alaska is one of the fifty states and as such is not playing around when it says that there is a very legitimate claim of the U.S. to the island.CharlesRobertCountofNesselrode 13:28, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The State Department also says that there were no claims to settle, because there has never been a US claim. A resolution of the Alaska Senate in 1988 does not mean that the State of Alaska consistently claims ownership, either; the Alaska Supreme Court has ruled that the island is not part of Alaska, and there seems to be no evidence of any ongoing claim. A resolution is basically a non-binding statement of support. --Reuben 15:20, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is the northeasternmost point of land in the world

This claim is rather pointless, as it is presumably relative to the arbitrary Greenwich Meridien. I'd suggest removal of this sentence. 147.66.2.1 (talk) 00:15, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
