The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 124D.792, to include provisions for American Indian drumming in public schools, particularly during graduation ceremonies. The new language allows for the wearing of American Indian regalia and objects of cultural significance at these ceremonies. Additionally, if requested by the school's American Indian parent committee or an American Indian student organization, schools must permit American Indian drumming at graduation events.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new section, 124D.793, which mandates 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.
