The National Park Service awarded $254,625 to North Dakota tribes through the LWCF State and Local Assistance Program, funding the Spirit Lake Tribe's outdoor recreation building and Heritage Park development by Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians. Since 1965, NPS has provided over 40,000 grants via LWCF, primarily funded by federal offshore oil and gas lease revenue. The 2019 John D. Dingell, Jr. Act reauthorized and reformed LWCF, ensuring states receive at least 40% of funding.
