Indian Self-Determination Act
The Indian Self-Determination & Education Assistance Act, PL 93-638, was passed in January 1975 to provide tribal nations the authority to exercise their sovereign right to assume direct control over the management and operation of programs previously provided to tribes by federal agencies within the Department of the Interior and Department of Health & Human Services. The Act was amended in 1988 to expand the contractible programs and activities that tribes may assume, including construction projects using Subpart J of the implementing regulations, and to provide for Self-Governance Compacts. The BIA, BIE, and IHS used the PL 93-638 statutory authority (25 U.S.C. §5301 et seq.) to allocate Federal Emergency Relief Funds to tribal governments for CARES Act, ARPA and JJIA funds, thus subjecting the funds to PL 93-638 statutes and accompanying regulations (25 CFR Part 900).
This course will explain the PL 93-638 statutory and regulatory requirements that apply to annual funding agreements between tribes and BIA, BIE and IHS. It will explain how the statutes and regulations also apply to Federal Emergency Relief Funds. This course provides a brief overview of construction projects under PL 93-638, but a more detailed coverage will be provided in the PL 93-638 Construction Contracting: Subpart J course.
