Presidential Message on National Native American Heritage Month

Key Points

• The message celebrates Native American history and culture and thanks Native people for their service.
• It says the President moved to fully recognize the Lumbee Tribe, which can unlock federal support and services.
• It says Native students can use federal funds for the school that fits them, including private, faith-based, or charter.
• These steps could mean more options for families, but details on funding and how schools qualify will matter.
• This is mostly a ceremonial statement, not a new law, so some promises may still need action to take effect.
