5 TITLE II—PEOPLING OF

6 AMERICA THEME STUDY

7 SEC. 201. SHORT TITLE.

8 This title may be cited as the ‘‘Peopling of America

9 Theme Study Act’’.

10 SEC. 202. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

11 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—

12 (1) an important facet of the history of the

13 United States is the story of how the United States

14 was populated;

15 (2) the migration, immigration, and settlement

16 of the population of the United States—

17 (A) is broadly termed the ‘‘peopling of

18 America’’; and

19 (B) is characterized by—

20 (i) the movement of groups of people

21 across external and internal boundaries of

22 the United States and territories of the

23 United States; and
6

S 939 ES

1 (ii) the interactions of those groups

2 with each other and with other popu3 lations;

4 (3) each of those groups has made unique, im5 portant contributions to American history, culture,

6 art, and life;

7 (4) the spiritual, intellectual, cultural, political,

8 and economic vitality of the United States is a result

9 of the pluralism and diversity of the American popu10 lation;

11 (5) the success of the United States in embrac12 ing and accommodating diversity has strengthened

13 the national fabric and unified the United States in

14 its values, institutions, experiences, goals, and ac15 complishments;

16 (6)(A) the National Park Service’s official the17 matic framework, revised in 1996, responds to the

18 requirement of section 1209 of the Civil War Sites

19 Study Act of 1990 (16 U.S.C. 1a–5 note; Public

20 Law 101–628), that ‘‘the Secretary shall ensure that

21 the full diversity of American history and prehistory

22 are represented’’ in the identification and interpreta23 tion of historic properties by the National Park

24 Service; and
7

S 939 ES

1 (B) the thematic framework recognizes that

2 ‘‘people are the primary agents of change’’ and es3 tablishes the theme of human population movement

4 and change—or ‘‘peopling places’’—as a primary

5 thematic category for interpretation and preserva6 tion; and

7 (7) although there are approximately 70,000

8 listings on the National Register of Historic Places,

9 sites associated with the exploration and settlement

10 of the United States by a broad range of cultures

11 are not well represented.

12 (b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this title are—

13 (1) to foster a much-needed understanding of

14 the diversity and contribution of the breadth of

15 groups who have peopled the United States; and

16 (2) to strengthen the ability of the National

17 Park Service to include groups and events otherwise

18 not recognized in the peopling of the United States.
