Up to $35 million in tourism grants for tribes and Native Hawaiian groups — most households would see no change.
The details
Most people would see no change in daily life. The money would go to tribal governments and Native Hawaiian groups, not to households. Congress would allow up to $35 million for these grants for the budget years 2025 through 2029. Lawmakers would still have to approve the actual spending later. Tribes, tribal groups, and Native Hawaiian groups could apply for tourism grants. The Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Office of Native Hawaiian Relations could hand out the money. Other agencies could too, such as Labor, Transportation, and Agriculture. The grants would pay for travel and tourism work in Native communities. Each agency could choose to give these grants, but none would have to.
