This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 124D.792, to allow for the inclusion of American Indian drumming in public school graduation ceremonies. The new legal language specifies that if requested by the school's American Indian parent committee or an American Indian student organization, school districts or charter schools must permit American Indian drumming during these ceremonies. Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of wearing American Indian regalia and objects of cultural significance at graduation events.

Furthermore, the bill proposes a new section, 124D.793, which reiterates that school districts or charter schools must allow American Indian drumming if requested by the school's American Indian parent committee. This legislation aims to promote cultural recognition and inclusion of American Indian traditions within the educational system, particularly during significant events like graduation ceremonies.
