Grand Village of the Natchez Indians and Jefferson College Affiliated Areas Establishment Act

This bill designates two specific historic sites - the Grand Village of the Natchez Indians (a National Historic Landmark) and Jefferson College (listed on the National Register of Historic Places) - as "affiliated areas" of the Natchez National Historical Park. The Mississippi Department of Archives and History will serve as the management entity for these sites, responsible for their preservation and interpretation, while the National Park Service will not acquire property or cover operational costs. The Secretary of the Interior must create a map of the sites' boundaries and develop a management plan within three years, to be submitted to Congress. The bill formalizes a partnership to protect these sites' historical resources without altering their existing protections or transferring management to the National Park Service.
