“Published November 4, 1975 in the Federal Register, these Regulations have been developed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs(IIIA) to assist American Indians in implementation of the IndianSelf-Determination and Education Assistance Act (PL 93-368). Prepared for tribal leaders and policymakers, this handbook analyzes the regulations from the perspective of tribal policymakers, present options as provided by the Regulations for creative tribal programming and development, and provides specific examples of how the Regulations’ tools (self-determination grants, BIA program contracts, planning for BIA operated programs, and gaining access to federal personnel) can best be used to help tribes solve problems and achieve goals.”
