The bill, H.F. No. 1947, introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives during the Ninety-Fourth Session, seeks to allocate funding from the arts and cultural heritage fund for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. The funds would be used to provide competitive grants for the development of high-quality academic cultural and ethnic studies materials focused on underrepresented communities. This includes, but is not limited to, the Hmong, Karen, Somali, and Oromo cultures, as well as cultures that primarily have oral traditions rather than formal writing systems. Grant recipients are required to collaborate with school districts that plan to utilize these materials.
