Native American tribes, tribal organizations, and Native Hawaiian organizations would become eligible for federal grants to develop and promote tourism under this bill. It amends the existing Native American Tourism and Improving Visitor Experience Act to authorize $35 million over five years (2025–2029) for grants from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Office of Native Hawaiian Relations, and other federal agencies. The goal is to help Indigenous communities build tourism infrastructure and share their culture, heritage, and natural resources with visitors.
