Note: The business meeting will start at 3pm Eastern on August 4, 2021.
The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs is meeting this week to advance Native language legislation.
Two items are on the agenda for the business meeting on Wednesday afternoon. They are:
• S.1989, the Native American Language Resource Center Act. The bipartisan bill creates the Native American Languages Resource Center, whose purpose is to support Native language schools and help them succeed.
• S.1402, the Durbin Feeling Native American Languages Act. The bill is named in honor of Durbin Feeling, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation who dedicated his life to preserving the Cherokee language before his passing last year at the age of 74. The Durbin Feeling Native American Languages Act ensures the federal government continues to support Native language efforts.
