This Minnesota Senate bill (S.F. No. 1965) proposes funding for the development of cultural and ethnic studies materials for underrepresented communities. It allocates funds from the state's arts and cultural heritage fund for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. The bill directs the commissioner of administration to distribute competitive grants to create high-quality academic resources for communities lacking adequate representation in existing studies. Targeted groups include the Hmong, Karen, Somali, and Oromo cultures, as well as cultures with predominantly oral traditions. Grant recipients must collaborate with school districts that plan to use the materials.
