Bill Summary
Relative to adding an indigenous tribal member to the Massachusetts Historical Commission. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the composition of the Massachusetts Historical Commission by increasing its total membership from 11 to 12 members and specifically requiring that one of those members be an indigenous representative from one of the two federally recognized tribes in Massachusetts. The new member will be selected from a list of two nominees, with each nominee submitted by one of the two federally recognized tribes in the state. This change appears intended to increase indigenous representation and input in the state's historical preservation and documentation processes, ensuring that Native American perspectives and heritage are more directly considered in the commission's work.
