Helps Indian Tribes protect their traditional seeds and keeps their cultural information private.
This bill would help Indian Tribes protect seeds that are important to their culture. The Interior Department would work with Tribes to find and support ways to save these seeds and traditional farming methods. Any private information shared by Tribes for this effort would be kept secret.
Today, there isn't a specific requirement for the Interior Department to help Indian Tribes identify and protect Native American seeds or to keep related confidential information private. If this bill becomes law, the Interior Department would be mandated to work with Indian Tribes to support these efforts and would be prohibited from sharing sensitive information provided by Tribes.
