Designating Northwest Coast Art as a rare and valuable national treasure.

This concurrent resolution designates Northwest Coast Art as a "rare and valuable national treasure," recognizing it as a significant Indigenous American art form with over 4,000 years of cultural and artistic evolution. It formally acknowledges the art’s importance to Northwest Coast Indigenous communities, its influence on broader American art, and its role in the nation’s cultural heritage. While not creating new laws or funding, the resolution expresses congressional support for preserving and celebrating this art form for future generations. It specifically highlights the need for better documentation and preservation as master artists pass away.
