About this opportunity

Our Mission To promote awareness of Tribal governmental responsibilities and processes, and to provide Tribes with the resources they need to foster strong and stable Tribal governments in exercising their rights as sovereign nations. In accordance with the long-standing Federal policy of supporting Indian self-determination as expressed in the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, as amended Public Law 93-638; Tribal Government Services promotes the sovereignty of federally recognized Tribes. Tribal Government Services carries out this policy by supporting and assisting Indian Tribes in the development and maintenance of strong and stable Tribal governments capable of administering quality programs and developing economies of their respective communities. Tribal Government funds are used to provide staff at the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) agency office, or hire staff under a Tribal Indian self-determination contract to perform tribal government services at the Tribal/agency level. Support provided includes research and preparation of Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood (CDIB) forms, review of Tribal resolutions, liquor ordinances, proposed governing documents requiring action by the BIA line officials, preparation of membership rolls for special (Secretarial) elections or for per capita distributions, and administration of special elections per 25 81. The staff also meets with Tribal enrollment offices or committees on enrollment/disenrollment matters and appeals. In some cases, the Aid to Tribal Government (ATG) funds directly support the activities of the Tribal contractor/Tribal officials in carrying out contracted activities on behalf of the Bureau and the Tribe. Tribal Enrollment In keeping with the authorities and responsibilities granted under the Snyder Act of 1921 and other Federal treaties, BIA employees across the country work with tribal governments in the administration of law enforcement and justice; agricultural and economic development; tribal governance; and natural resources management programs in order to enhance the quality of life in tribal communities. Tribal Enrollment processes enrollment appeals for members of Tribes that have adverse enrollment actions by Bureau officials. An adverse enrollment action results from the preparation of a Tribal roll subject to Secretarial approval or an appeal to the Secretary is provided for in the Tribal governing document. The program develops or updates guidelines concerning Tribal enrollment systems. Tribal Enrollment reviews and approves applications to share in judgment fund per capita distribution to Tribal lineal descendants as part of the roll used for distribution of funds appropriated in satisfaction of a Court judgment. Tribal Government personnel, usually an Enrollment Clerk, located at a regional or agency office, process applications for Certificates of Degree of Indian Blood (CDIB) and Indian Preference in Employment BIA Form 4432, to anyone who provides documentation that he or she descends from an American Indian Tribe. Our Tracing American Indian and Alaska Native Ancestry page provides resources to address frequently asked questions. Certificate of Degree of Indian or Alaska Native Blood (CDIB) (1.43 MB) Verification of Indian Preference for Employment in the BIA or IHS (4.82 MB) The Tribal Enrollment Specialist reviews requests for Indian blood degree changes, certifies enrollment for eagle feather permits, issues Identification cards to individuals eligible to exercise off-reservation treaty rights, and evaluates and approves commercial fishing licenses.
