The Tribal – Interior Budget Council (TIBC), formerly known as the Indian Affairs Tribal Budget Advisory Council (TBAC), provides a forum and process for Tribal Nations and Federal officials to work together in developing annual budget requests for Indian programs in the Department of the Interior. It provides cooperative participation in IA budget formulation, justification, and information. TIBC meetings also serve as an education forum to better inform Tribal Nations of the IA budget process and advise on the status of Indian Country initiatives throughout the Federal Government.
The Department of Interior (DOI) Office of Budget provides an overview of federal funding for Native American Programs.
TIBC meetings occur on a quarterly basis.
- DOI has meeting materials, including agendas and presentations, from past and upcoming meetings.
- DOI also has other meeting materials, including general TIBC and budget information such as TIBC protocol or action tracking.
- The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) has meeting materials from past and upcoming meetings.
