HONORING MINNEAPOLIS AMERICAN INDIAN CENTER'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 196 (Thursday, November 20, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 196 (Thursday, November 20, 2025)] [House] [Page H4853] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING MINNEAPOLIS AMERICAN INDIAN CENTER'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY (Ms. OMAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. OMAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Minneapolis American Indian Center and to celebrate their 50th anniversary. The Minneapolis American Indian Center has carried out its mission of celebrating and uplifting Native culture through a wide range of programs and services that preserve important traditions. The center creates pathways for opportunity for over 35,000 tribally diverse American Indians living in the metro area. I am proud that my office was able to secure $3 million in Federal funding to support their renovation and expansion. The center stands as a powerful example of resilience and the enduring strength of the Native community. I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating the Minneapolis American Indian Center's 50 years of service. ____________________
