HR 6285 United States House · 119th Congress

Native Arts and Culture Promotion Act

The Native Arts and Culture Promotion Act amends the American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian Culture and Art Development Act to update governance for grants supporting Native Hawaiian art and culture. It requires that governing boards for these grants include Native Hawaiians and recognized experts in Native Hawaiian art, with members serving fixed terms. The bill also removes the word "private" from a section of the law, clarifying that such grants are not restricted to private entities. These changes specifically apply to Native Hawaiian cultural programs and do not alter funding or administration for other tribal groups.
