Storytelling is central to contemporary Native American life-ways, yet, there is an extremely limited number of published works by Native authors. By amplifying Native authors, all Minnesotans will have access to literary works that connect the public to the vital and thriving Native American culture that Minnesota is rooted in. AMRA's Native Authors Program creates opportunity and placemaking for Native authors who are not given access to other workshops at more established writing programs.

Septic tank systems aim to treat sewage generated by homes and facilities that do not have access to centralized wastewater treatment plants. Currently 25% of the U.S. population relies on these systems as their primary means of wastewater treatment. However, the treatment capabilities of these systems are limited and so byproducts can contribute to degradation of water resources and other environmental problems and the systems emit instead of collect powerful greenhouse gases such as methane.

The Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources is using this appropriation to continue efforts aimed at improving the quantity and quality of white cedar wetland plant communities in Minnesota.
