Stronger Support for Native Arts and Culture
This new law updates existing programs that support the arts and culture of American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians. It aims to provide more stable and inclusive support, ensuring these vital cultural initiatives can thrive and be sustained for the future.
Key points
Programs will now focus on both establishing and *maintaining* cultural and artistic development, ensuring long-term support for community projects.
Decision-making boards for Native Hawaiian art and culture grants will now specifically include Native Hawaiians and recognized cultural experts, serving for set periods.
These changes broaden the scope of support for Native arts and culture, potentially leading to more opportunities and resources for artists and cultural practitioners.
