The Guam Ancestral Lands Commission (GALC)

The Guam Ancestral Lands Commission (GALC) was set up by Guam Public Law 25-45 to pass title of federal excess lands, once returned to Government of Guam, back to original landowners or their heirs.  Guam Public Law 25-178 sets the missions, mandates, powers and jurisdiction of the Commission in processing claimant applications for Deed of Title.

On this website, you can learn more on how to apply of for Deed of Title, about our Commission, download forms, view GALC's expense reports, and more!  It is just one of the ways we are making our organization more transparent to better serve the people of Guam.
