YourVoice.Now Summary

Native American tribes, tribal organizations, and Native Hawaiian organizations would become eligible for federal grants to develop and promote tourism under this bill.

The goal is to help Indigenous communities build tourism infrastructure and share their culture, heritage, and natural resources with visitors.
