Key Points

  • Congress would direct the Interior Department to study the Cahokia, Emerald, and Pulcher Mounds in Illinois.
  • The study would weigh whether these sites should become part of the National Park System.
  • It would also look at other ways to protect and explain the sites, such as partnerships with state, local, nonprofit, or private groups.
  • The Interior Department would consult with governments, organizations, and interested people, and estimate the costs of different options.
  • A report to Congress would be due within 3 years after funding is first provided for the study.
