MISSION STATEMENT
To promote and advocate maximum Indian participation in the programs and
services conducted by the Federal Government for Indians; and to encourage and
support the development of Tribal capacity to better manage the opportunities
and responsibilities of self-determination.
In 1975, the United States Congress enacted the Indian Self-Determination and
Education Assistance Act (the Act), Pub. L. 93-638. The Act allowed for Tribes to
have greater autonomy and to have the opportunity to assume the responsibility
for programs and services administered to them on behalf of the Secretary of the
Interior through contractual agreements. The Act assured that Tribes had
paramount involvement in the direction of services provided by the Federal
Government in an attempt to target the delivery of such services to the needs and
desires of the local communities. In the Act, the Congress declared its
commitment to maintaining the unique and continuing relationship with Indian
Tribes through the new policy of self-determination. The strengthening of this
relationship provided a methodical evolution of Federal dominance to an
improved and effective Indian involvement in the development and management
of programs.
The Division of Self-Determination Services (DSDS) within the Bureau of Indian
Affairs (BIA), the Office of Indian Services (OIS) serves as the primary contact on
policy affecting the unique contractual relationship between the Secretary of the
Interior and Federally recognized Tribes or Tribal entities. In addition to developing
policy and providing program direction at a national level, the Division focuses its
3
ISDEAA TRAINING Course Catalog FY-2020
efforts on training and technical assistance to meet the increasing demand for
modernization and professional growth by DOI employees and Tribal contractors.
WHY WE TRAIN
Indian Affairs’ policy supports and assists efforts of Federally recognized Tribes to
plan, conduct, and administer programs and services provided for the benefit of
Tribes and their members through the Indian Self-Determination and Education
Assistance Act (ISDEAA).
WHO WE TRAIN
The training program is designed for Federal and Tribal officials in support of the
execution of self-determination programs and services. The training program
provides technical assistance and training courses on program specific
components. The training curriculum targets the duties and responsibilities of the
ISDEAA agreements in methods consistent with applicable laws, rules, and
regulations, while supporting the Congress and the Secretary’s goal of,
“...supporting and assisting Indian Tribes in the development of strong and stable
Tribal governments, capable of administering quality programs…” through
comprehensive technical assistance without impairing the Secretary’s trust
responsibility to any Federally recognized Tribe or Tribal member.
TRAINING OVERVIEW

amended, to ensure successful implementation. The course and coursework are
