The proposed bill amends Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section that mandates public schools, universities, community colleges, parks, libraries, and other government buildings to display a Native American tribal land acknowledgment plaque in a visible public area. This requirement is to be implemented in consultation with Native American tribes, emphasizing the recognition of their historical connection to the land.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the acknowledgment does not confer any rights or privileges to non-federally recognized tribes and states that the acknowledgment process is symbolic, intended to honor the indigenous peoples who originally occupied the land. The bill defines "land acknowledgment" as a statement recognizing Native American tribes as traditional stewards of the land where these public entities are situated. The act is titled the "Tribal Land Acknowledgment Act."
