Economic Development
We maintain government-to-government relationships with Indian tribes, and facilitate support for tribal people and tribal
governments. We promote safe and quality living environments, strong communities, self sufficient and individual rights,
while enhancing protection of the lives, prosperity and well being of American Indians and Alaska Natives.
Indian Affairs provides services directly or through contracts, grants, or compacts to 574 Federally recognized tribes with a service population of approximately
2.5 million American Indian and Alaska Natives. While the role of Indian Affairs has changed significantly in the last three decades
in response to a greater emphasis on Indian self-governance and self-determination, Tribes still look to Indian Affairs for a broad spectrum of services.
