The Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association (APIA) has appealed a determination by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to partially reject APIA’s proposed fiscal year (FY) 2006 Tribal Self-Governance Annual Funding Agreement (AFA). BIA rejected that portion of the AFA that proposed funding for performing activities under Section 14(h)(1) of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA), as amended, 43 U.S.C. § 1613(h)(1).
