The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 124D.792, to include provisions that allow for American Indian drumming in public schools, particularly during graduation ceremonies. The new 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 at these events. Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of wearing American Indian regalia and objects of cultural significance during graduation ceremonies.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new section, 124D.793, which reiterates the requirement for school districts or charter schools to allow American Indian drumming if requested by the school's American Indian parent committee. This legislative change aims to promote cultural recognition and inclusion of American Indian traditions within the educational system in Minnesota.
