History of the Program:
Tribal Operations is a basic Bureau of Indian Affairs program
that became assumable by tribes and tribal consortiums through
the Indian Self-Determination and Education Act of 1975. Tanana
Chiefs assumed the program shortly after the passage of the
Act, calling it "Village Government Services, " and
incorporating it into the TCC Community and Natural Resources
Department. The program name was later changed to "Tribal
Government Services." Many tribes in the Region operate
their own program under 638 Contracting, Compacting, or under
EMOA agreements with Tanana Chiefs. The program provides general
technical assistance to tribes in the region, direct services
to those tribes that keep their program dollars at Tanana Chiefs,
and contracts for services with tribes that have their own program
dollars.
