SUMMARY:Protecting Lives\, Strengthening Justice: Essential Victim‑Centered Policing for Tribal Law Enforcement
DESCRIPTION:Violence against Native women remains a significant public safety issue. According to the U.S. Department of the Interior- Indian Affairs Office\, more than 1.5 million American Indian and Alaska Native women have experienced violence in their lifetime. Tribal law enforcement officers report persistent challenges in identifying and responding appropriately to victims\, navigating victim reluctance to come forward\, and accessing adequate victim service resources. To address these challenges\, the National Criminal Justice Training Center in partnership with the Tribal Law and Policy Institute developed the Tribal Law Enforcement Victim Services Academy. \n\n\n\nAboutThe Tribal Law Enforcement Victim Services Academy is a 16-week virtual training designed to equip new and current law enforcement officers working in Tribal communities with the foundational knowledge and practical skills needed to support victims of crime using a culturally grounded\, trauma-informed\, and victim-centered approach. \n\n\n\nParticipants will gain the tools and resources needed to strengthen safety\, uphold Tribal sovereignty\, and enhance justice for victims of domestic violence\, dating violence\, sexual assault\, human trafficking\, and stalking. \n\n\n\nTime commitment for the Academy is up to 2.5 hours per week. To be approved for this Academy\, you must receive approval from your supervisor for this dedicated commitment. Your approving authority information is collected during the registration process for follow-up purposes.

SUMMARY:Overview of OMB Rule Proposing Significant Changes to Financial Assistance
DESCRIPTION:The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published a proposed rule that rewrites 2 CFR Part 200 (Uniform Guidance) — the single regulation governing every federal grant\, cooperative agreement\, and pass-through award. The proposal reaches across all 42 federal departments and could negatively impact Tribal Nations and Tribal organizations and their respective Tribal programs. Federal funding for Tribal programs is not discretionary. It stems from treaties\, congressional statutes\, court decisions\,  and is a requirement of the federal government’s trust obligations to Tribal Nations. \n\n\n\nOMB has acknowledged the need for Tribal consultation\, but consultation after publication is not meaningful. Tribal Nations must be provided the opportunity to share their input with OMB before the rule and its subsequent policy framework is proposed. \n\n\n\nWhy This Is a Serious Threat \n\n\n\nThe proposal would reshape how the Federal government awards and administers all grants and financial assistance\, giving them control over $1 trillion in annual Federal awards. The provisions will reach every Tribal Nation\, Tribal Organization\, most major universities and hospitals\, and countless Tribal nonprofits and community organizations serving American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs)\, in rural and urban settings. \n\n\n\nThreatens the sovereignty of Tribal Nations including Tribal and culturally specific programs. New national-policy\, disparate-impact\, reporting\, and procurement provisions may be used to restrict Tribal advocacy\, data sovereignty\, culturally specific services\, cross-border Tribal work\, and Tribal procurement laws. \n\n\n\nPolitical control over awards. The proposed rule would appoint senior political appointees from the Executive Branch to ensure grantees are aligned with the Administration’s “national interest\,” thus demoting peer review to advisory in nature only\, creating risk that changing political priorities override Tribal Nations’ priorities\, statutory purposes\, and Tribal specific expertise and community need. \n\n\n\nSuspension and termination risk. Proposed sections of the rule permit termination of discretionary awards based on agency priorities or the “national interest” and permits suspension in an agency or pass-through entity’s interest. A pause can shut down life-safety services within Tribal communities. \n\n\n\nRisk conditions and funding barriers. Proposed sections of the rule would expand applicant-risk review and program-level conditions. The proposal also creates pressure favoring lower indirect-cost rates\, penalizing remote and under-resourced Tribal governments.Direct program consequences. At risk are VAWA\, MMIP\, victim services\,Tribal justice\, housing\, education\, natural resources\, water\, energy\, transportation\, broadband\, workforce\, and Tribal cultural and language programs\, among other critical programs serving AI/ANs.What Tribal Leaders Can Do Now \n\n\n\n\nAttend the NCAI Webinar on July 1.\n\n\n\nAttend the NAFOA Webinar on July 8. \n\n\n\nVisit the Coalition for Tribal Sovereignty website to download the Tribal Grant Termination toolkit and monitor for a template comment letter on the OMB Rulemaking. \n\n\n\nSubmit formal Tribal comments by July 13\, 2026\, and demand that OMB engage in meaningful government-to-government Tribal Consultation (not after-the-fact consultation)\, before adoption of a final rule.\n\n\n\nInclude a Tribal impact analysis and/or program examples.\n\n\n\nDemand a binding savings clause protecting treaty rights\, trust duties\, and statutory Indian programs\, and program-specific protections over conflicting Part 200 proposed requirements.\n\n\n\nOppose political-priority grant-making authority\, termination and suspension; require notice\, due process\, appeal rights\, advance payments\, continuity funding\, and full recovery of negotiated indirect costs.\n\n\n\nDemand that OMB publish a Tribal impact analysis and certify that no final rule will impair Tribal sovereignty\, treaty rights\, trust obligations\, and congressionally appropriated Tribal program whether administered through direct services or by a Tribal Nation.\n\n\n\n\nComments are due July 13\, 2026 (45 days after publication). \n\n\n\nPlease go to www.regulations.gov to submit your comments under docket OMB-2026-0034. The Administration aims to make the rule effective October 1\, 2026. \n\n\n\nNote that submitting comments by the July 13th due date will help Tribal Nations build an administrative record to preserve APA claims as well as important ISDEAA\, treaty and trust arguments.  THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW. A general grant-management regulation must not be permitted to weaken the United States’ treaty\, trust\, statutory\, and government-to-government obligations to Tribal Nations.

SUMMARY:Effective Strategies to Interview Older Victims and Document Evidence of Elder Abuse in Indian Country

Participants will learn about the Elder Abuse Guide for Law Enforcement (EAGLE)\, a U.S. Department of Justice–supported initiative that provides practical strategies for interviewing older victims\, documenting evidence\, and strengthening multidisciplinary collaboration.

SUMMARY:First Allies: Polly Cooper and the Oneida Indian Nation
DESCRIPTION:NMAI welcomes elders\, leaders\, and members of the Oneida Indian Nation to share with visitors the legacy of Polly Cooper\, an Oneida ancestor and icon. \n\n\n\nPolly Cooper was a hero to the American soldiers stationed at Valley Forge\, Pennsylvania\, during the Revolutionary War. She and other Oneidas traveled more than two hundred miles through the bitter cold during the winter of 1777–78 to deliver corn to General George Washington’s starving troops. \n\n\n\nWhile the rest of the Oneida relief party returned home\, Cooper stayed\, saying it was the Oneida’s duty to help their allies. Cooper refused payment for her contributions\, but oral tradition tells that she joined some of the soldiers’ wives\, including Martha Washington\, for window shopping in Philadelphia and admired a black shawl and bonnet in a shop window. The wives later had the shawl and bonnet purchased and\, a few weeks later\, a soldier delivered them both to Cooper. The bonnet was lost over time\, but the black shawl remains a treasured possession for Cooper’s descendants. \n\n\n\nLearn more about the Oneida Indian Nation with a presentation on Polly Cooper’s legacy\, along with dance performances\, food demonstrations\, and a short film. Visitors can also enjoy a curator-led tour of Nation to Nation: Treaties between the United States and American Indian Nations\, hands-on activities\, and more.
