Pennsylvania has launched a grant-funded program to Raise Awareness of its Native American culture and history. The Pennsylvania Tourism Office, in collaboration with Lehigh University's Institute for Indigenous Studies, plans to develop a plan highlighting Indigenous stories, culture, and history. The initiative aims to address the incomplete picture of Native American history in Pennsylvania and the lack of representation for Indigenous nations in the state's culture. The grant, provided by the Appalachian Regional Commission, will fund projects that promote economic opportunities for Native people and tribal nations. The hope is to complete some projects by the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
