A bill to establish the Grand Village of the Natchez Indians and Jefferson College as affiliated areas of the National Park System, and for other purposes.
This bill designates the Grand Village of the Natchez Indians and Historic Jefferson College in Natchez, Mississippi, as "affiliated areas" within the National Park System. It establishes these sites under cooperative management with the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (the designated management entity), consistent with National Park Service policies. The bill does not involve federal property acquisition or operational funding; instead, it creates a formal agreement for the Secretary of the Interior to provide technical assistance and support preservation efforts while maintaining the sites' local management.
