DOI Tribal Leaders consultation on Proposed Rule to NAGRPA
2022-12-19 12:00 - 15:00, 2023-01-12 11:00 - 14:00 | United States
Dear Tribal Leader Letter
The Department of the Interior (Department) proposes to revise its Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) regulations at 43 CFR part 10 and invites Tribal Leaders to consult on the proposed rule.
The proposed regulations would clarify and improve upon the systematic process for the disposition and repatriation of Native American human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, or objects of cultural patrimony. In August 2021, the Department hosted consultation sessions with Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations on a draft proposal and incorporated that input to the maximum extent possible. A summary of the over 700 comments received and the Department’s response to each comment is attached for your review. The proposed rule published in the Federal Register on October, 18, 2022 and is available here.
December 15, 2022, from 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm Eastern
December 19, 2022, from 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm Eastern
January 12, 2023, from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm Mountain (meeting in person at the Bureau of Land Management National Training Center; 9828 North 31st Ave.; Phoenix, Arizona 85051)

DOI Non-BIA Programs List Eigible for SG Funding Agreements (Jan 2023) Consultation
2023-01-12 15:00 - 18:00 | United States
Dear Tribal Leader Letter
Thursday, January 12 at 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm Mountain
In-Person at BLM National Training Center, 9828 North 31st Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85051
Tuesday, January 17 at 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm Mountain

Virtual | Register in advance
The Assistant Secretary – Indian Affairs proposes to consult on the List of Programs Eligible for Inclusion in Funding Agreements Negotiated with Self-Governance Tribes by Interior Bureaus Other than the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) (the “List”) that is prepared annually pursuant to section 412(c) of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (the “ISDEAA”). A copy of the List for Fiscal Year 2022 can be found here:
https://www.federalregister.gov/ d/2022-025 84.
It is important to note the list is NOT a definitive list of all potentially c:ontractable programs and there may be many more that have yet to be identified. Prior versions of the List have included non-BIA programs or portions of programs that are eligible for inclusion in self-governance funding agreements with Indian Tribes. Past Lists have also included Fiscal Year programmatic targets for non-BIA bureaus under Title IV of the ISDEAA. We seek feedback on what information would be most helpful to Indian Tribes.
Joint Secretarial Order 3403 directs the Department’s bureaus to “[m]ake agreements with Indian Tribes to collaborate in the co-stewardship of Federal lands and waters under the Departments’ jurisdiction, including for wildlife and its habitat.” The Department views the ISDEAA as an importanrmeans for fulfilling the goals of Joint Secretarial Order 3403, and the List as a valuable resource for Indian Tribes seeking ways to develop collaborative arrangements in the co-stewardship of Federal lands and waters.
A listening session on this issue was previously held at the 2022 Self Governance Conference on August 2, 2022, at which non-BIA program staff were available for questions and answers. The results indicated that further consultation on the format and content of the List would be helpful. Indian Affairs invites you to consult on three topics:

the value of the current format of the List to Indian Tribes seeking contracting, selfgovernance agreement(s), and/or compacting under ISDEAA;
whether adding to the List a list of all contracts, self-governance agreements, and/or compacts, entered into by Department bureaus other than the BIA would be helpful for Tribes seeking to contract or compact with non-BIA Department bureaus; and
whether general guidance on the principles governing contracting, self-governance agreement(s), and/or compacting under the ISDEAA should be included in the List.

Written comments should be submitted by email to consultations@bia.gov by 11:59 Eastern on Monday, February 20, 2023.
If you have any questions regarding this effort, please contact Samuel Kohn, Senior Counselor to the Assistant Secretruy -Indian Affairs, via email at samuel.kohn@bia.gov, or by phone at (202) 208-7163.

NIHB and CDC Electronic Case Reporting for Tribal Nations Pre-Application Webinar
2023-01-17 13:00 | Virtual Event
January 17 at 2:00 pm Eastern
Join the webinar here.
The National Indian Health Board (NIHB) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are pleased to offer a funding opportunity to begin the implementation process of electronic case reporting (eCR) directly to the Tribal public health authority (PHA). Electronic case reporting (eCR) can provide real time data to Tribal public health authorities to ensure a swift investigation process. As sovereign governments, Tribal Nations have inherent public health authority (PHA) which bestows upon them the legal authority to receive case reports on conditions of interest to them.
NIHB anticipates funding two high-quality proposals from Tribes or Tribal organizations for $350,000 each. This project will run from approximately February 2023 to July 2023. This is the second round of eCR funding provided by NIHB, and applicants will join our pilot cohort in implementing eCR.
Learn more about this funding opportunity and eCR for Tribes here. NIHB will host a pre-application webinar on Tuesday, January 17, at 2:00 PM ET. Join the webinar here. To apply for this funding opportunity, submit an application to Sarah Price at sprice@nihb.org by Wednesday, February 8, 2023. Download the application here.
