The fifth program will be to support Tribal Government Initiatives.

Purpose of Project

To assist Federally recognized Tribes/Nations in providing governmental services and programs such as health, education, housing and other social services which tribes determine to be necessary within their jurisdiction and to assist State recognized Indian Tribes in obtaining Federal recognition.

In too many instances, federal funding for Indian Tribes is limited by specific federal programs available and appropriation limitations reflecting Washington's ideas of what Tribes should have rather than direct consideration of what Tribes need. The purpose of this project is not to supplant federally available funds, but to supplement such funds by allowing each Tribe to request funds for support for those programs and services deemed necessary at the Tribal level. The purpose of these grants will be to provide funds for hard costs associated with such services and programs such as property and land acquisition, construction and soft costs of personnel and similar costs to the extent funds are available.
