Section 1601 et seq.)) which is recognized by the Secretary of the Interior as eligible for special programs and services provided by the United States to Indians because of their status as Indians. A list of eligible entities is available from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, except for the recognized Alaska native villages, regional corporations, and village corporations (Alaskan entities should refer to applicable provisions in the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, referenced above). If a tribe has several bands, colonies, Rancherias, communities or other organizational entities listed in parentheses following a tribe name on the Department of Interiors list of federally recognized tribes, only one of those entities may receive a grant in a fiscal year. For example, if a tribe has four bands, only one of the bands may apply for a grant in a fiscal year.
