Breathing Healing Bus
Things you can do to help:
A Native American education bill is being proposed for the 2026 legislative session. CONTACT YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVES and ask them to support it and tell them that the State Land Board should pay for it.
CONTACT THE STATE LAND BOARD (tell them that a portion of the revenue generated by oil/gas, mineral, and agricultural leases should be dedicated to funding public Native American education)
