BDR S-789 – In Honor of Native American Heritage Month

To celebrate Native American Heritage Month, we are sharing all the favorable outcomes of the 82nd Legislative Session.

As all our relatives become more engaged in civic matters, please know that the bill which “makes an appropriation to the nonprofit organization Foster Kinship for its programs dedicated to kinship care,” is now a law.

(BDR S-789) AN ACT making an appropriation to the nonprofit organization Foster Kinship for its programs dedicated to kinship care; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.

The NEVADA INDIAN COMMISSION (NIC) is a State agency created by statute in 1965 to “study matters affecting the social and economic welfare and well-being of American Indians residing in Nevada, including but not limited to matters and problems relating to Indian affairs and to federal and state control, responsibility, policy, and operations affecting such Indians.”  Beginning on July 1, 2024, our agency will be known as the Department of Native American Affairs (DNA).
