This bill appropriates $1,500,000 from the state general fund to the Department of Public Instruction for the implementation of a Native American history curriculum for the biennium from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. The funding is allocated for various purposes, including $600,000 for curriculum development in collaboration with tribal representatives and educators, $300,000 for teacher training programs, $500,000 for educational materials and resources, and $100,000 for administrative oversight. Additionally, the bill mandates the establishment of a Native American curriculum advisory committee to guide the curriculum's development and ensure it addresses the educational needs of Native American youth.

The bill also emphasizes the importance of providing ongoing support for teachers, ensuring equitable access to resources, particularly for rural and underfunded schools, and requires the superintendent of public instruction to report to the legislative management by August 31, 2026, on the progress of the curriculum's development and implementation. The overarching goal is to enhance the educational experience for Native American students and address social issues such as addiction, poverty, and suicide, ultimately contributing to a more stable and prosperous society in North Dakota.
