Support for indigenous languages
The Native American Language Vitalization Act, which I introduced today, will help ensure Chamorro and Refaluwasch continue to be spoken by future generations in the Marianas.
EDA disaster grants now open
Disaster funds from the Economic Development Administration – funds I ensured the Marianas could apply for in Public Law 116-20 – are now available.
Historic preservation funds also
The application period for $50 million in emergency supplemental historic preservation funding we appropriated in Public Law 116-20 is now open for areas hit by Hurricanes Michael and Florence and Super Typhoon Yutu.
