Truth in National Parks Act

Introduced·4/28/26

Truth in National Parks Act ensures historically accurate exhibits at National Park Service sites.

The Truth in National Parks Act amends title 54, United States Code, to ensure interpretive and educational materials at National Park Service sites are historically and culturally accurate. The Secretary of the Interior must consult with relevant constituencies, including Indian Tribes, before altering such materials. The Act also mandates the replacement or restoration of any historically accurate materials altered between January 20, 2025, and the enactment of this Act. Additionally, it requires a report on co-stewardship agreements between Indigenous communities and Federal agencies.
