The National Park Service yesterday announced more than $60 million in grant funding dedicated to historic preservation offices across the country, with an additional $23 million dedicated solely to tribal historic preservation.
Established in 1977, the Historic Preservation Fund has provided close to $3 billion in historic preservation grants to states, Tribes, local governments, and nonprofit organizations throughout its lifetime. The fund is administered by the NPS with funds appropriated by Congress to support historic preservation programs and projects across the country.
In recent years, the fund has benefited: The Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians, who hired two cultural consultants to conduct a survey of the history of the Tribe's 75-acre Rancheria; The Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation Tribal historic preservation office, who worked with four properties eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places; and The Bear River Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria, who provides educational programming in dressmaking, regalia, motherhood, basket weaving and archery during several cultural classes a week.

Help us defend tribal sovereignty.
At Native News Online, our mission is rooted in telling the stories that strengthen sovereignty and uplift Indigenous voices — not just at year’s end, but every single day.
Because of your generosity last year, we were able to keep our reporters on the ground in tribal communities, at national gatherings and in the halls of Congress — covering the issues that matter most to Indian Country: sovereignty, culture, education, health and economic opportunity.
That support sustained us through a tough year in 2025. Now, as we look to the year ahead, we need your help right now to ensure warrior journalism remains strong — reporting that defends tribal sovereignty, amplifies Native truth, and holds power accountable.
The stakes couldn't be higher. Your support keeps Native voices heard, Native stories told and Native sovereignty defended.
Stand with Warrior Journalism today.
