 Many tribes have chosen to enter into a self-governance relationship with the Department of the Interior, the Indian Health Service, or both. During this class, we'll take you through this program designed for tribes that already operate under a compact or those who are contemplating moving from self-determination to a self-governance relationship.
The program content begins with the origins of self-governance and traces a path to the latest issues currently impacting the program. Topics will include a discussion on the differences between a compact and the Annual Funding Agreement (AFA), including non BIA and IHS programs in your AFA, construction projects, rebudgeting, interest income and much more.
