Asian Minnesotan history education funding provided, and money appropriated.

This bill allocates $1 million from the arts and cultural heritage fund in fiscal year 2027 to the Minnesota Historical Society for a grant to the Coalition of Asian American Leaders. The funding will support documenting the history of Asian migration to Minnesota and the experiences of Asian Americans in the state through research, translation, community outreach, and educational materials. The Coalition may use the funds to provide additional grants to project partners working with specific Asian Minnesotan communities to preserve and share their stories. This legislation directly affects the Minnesota Historical Society, the Coalition of Asian American Leaders, and Asian Minnesotan communities whose histories will be documented.
