103D CONGRESS
2D SESSION
H. R. 2135
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
OCTOBER 6 (legislative day, SEPTEMBER 12), 1994
Received
AN ACT
To provide for a National Native American Veterans’
Memorial.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Native American
Veterans’ Memorial Establishment Act of 1994’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) Native Americans across the Nation—Indi-
ans, Native Alaskans, and Native Hawaiians—have
a long, proud and distinguished tradition of service
in the Armed Forces of the United States.
(2) Native Americans have historically served in
the Armed Forces of the United States in numbers
which far exceed their representation in the popu-
lation of the United States.
(3) Native American veterans count among
themselves a number of Medal of Honor recipients.
Their numbers are also conspicuous in the ranks of
those who have received other decorations for valor
and distinguished service.
(4) Native Americans have lost their lives in the
service of their Nation and in the cause of peace.
(5) The National Museum of the American In-
dian was established as a living memorial to Native
Americans. Its mission is to advance knowledge and
understanding of Native American cultures, includ-
ing art, history, language, and the contributions Na-
tive Americans have made to our society.
(6) The National Museum of the American In-
dian is an extraordinary site and an ideal location to
establish a National Native American Veterans’ Me-
morial.
(7) A National Native American Veterans’ Me-
morial would further the purposes of the National
Museum of the American Indian by giving all Ameri-
cans the opportunity to learn of the proud and cou-
rageous tradition of service of Native Americans in
the Armed Forces of the United States.
SEC. 3. AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH MEMORIAL.
(a) IN GENERAL.—The National Museum of the
American Indian (established by the National Museum of
the American Indian Act (20 U.S.C. 80q et seq.)), in close
consultation with the National Congress of American Indi-
ans and other Native American groups, is authorized to
construct and maintain a National Native American Vet-
erans’ Memorial (hereafter in this Act referred to as the
‘‘memorial’’).
(b) LOCATION.—The memorial shall be located at a
site determined to be suitable by the Museum within the
interior structure of the facility provided for by section
7(a) of such Act (20 U.S.C. 80q–5(a)) (relating to housing
the portion of the Museum to be located in the District
of Columbia).
(c) DESIGN AND PLANS.—(1) The National Congress
of American Indians, in consultation with the Museum,
is authorized to hold a competition to select the design
of the Memorial. Any design so selected shall be compat-
ible with both the purpose of the Museum, as set forth
in section 3(b) of the National Museum of the American
Indian Act (20 U.S.C. 80q–1), and with any existing de-
