Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized)
Additional Information on Eligibility: Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages and corporations are eligible to apply for funding under the Native American Library Services grant program. Entities such as libraries, schools, tribal colleges, or departments of education are not eligible applicants, although they may be involved in the administration of this program and their staff may serve as project directors, in partnership with an eligible applicant. For purposes of funding under this program, "Indian tribe" means any tribe, band, nation, or other organized group or community, including any Alaska Native village, regional corporation, or village corporation (as defined in or established pursuant to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act [43 U.S.C. § 1601 et seq.]) that is recognized by the Secretary of the Interior as eligible for the special programs and services provided by the United States to Indians because of their status as Indians. Eligible entities, except for the recognized regional corporations and village corporations, are listed on the Bureau of Indian Affairs Web site (www.doi.gov/bureau-indian-affairs.html). (Alaskan entities should refer to applicable provisions in the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, referenced above.) Two or more Alaska Native villages, regional corporations, or village corporations may not receive Basic Grants to serve the same population. If a tribe has several bands, colonies, rancherias, communities, or other organizational entities listed in parentheses following the tribes name on the Department of Interiors list of federally recognized tribes, only one of those entities may receive a grant in the same grant category (Basic Grant with Education/Assessment Option or Enhancement Grant) in a fiscal year. For example, if a tribe has four bands, only one band may apply for a Basic Grant with Education/Assessment Option in a fiscal year. However, one band may apply for a Basic Grant with Education/Assessment Option, while another band from that same tribe may apply for an Enhancement Grant. It is the responsibility of the tribal chief executive to determine which entity will apply for each grant.
