Protect Native American history and culture at National Park Service sites by requiring accurate materials and Tribal consultation before changes to exhibits.
Occurrences
Evidence
GovInfo records that Ms. Davids introduced H.R. 8539, the Truth in National Parks Act, and that it was referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources. The bill text would require National Park Service interpretive materials to be historically and culturally accurate and would require consultation with relevant constituencies, including Indian Tribes when appropriate, before editing or removing materials.
Davids' office announced the introduction of the Truth in National Parks Act, saying it would require historically and culturally accurate NPS materials, prohibit removal or alteration of accurate materials except for new credible information, and require consultation with Tribal Nations before exhibit changes.
Assessments
Davids introduced H.R. 8539, the Truth in National Parks Act, in the 119th Congress to require historically and culturally accurate National Park Service materials and Tribal consultation before exhibit changes, which closely matches the promised policy. However, the record shows the bill was only introduced and referred to committee, with no enactment or implemented federal policy outcome. Because this is a serious legislative attempt by the candidate but not a delivered result, the promise is not fulfilled, with effort credit.
