Minnesota HF1947 appropriates funds for developing cultural studies materials for underrepresented groups.

Minnesota HF1947 allocates funds from the arts and cultural heritage fund to the commissioner of administration for competitive grants. These grants aim to develop high-quality academic cultural and ethnic studies materials for communities lacking adequate resources or representation in existing materials. Specifically, the bill targets Hmong, Karen, Somali, Oromo cultures, and those without formal writing systems. Recipients of these grants must collaborate with school districts intending to use the developed materials.
