Self-Governance Demonstration Project

The Self-Governance Demonstration Project is an initiative designed to empower Indigenous communities in the United States by providing them with the authority to govern themselves. It allows tribal governments to manage federal funding and programs, tailoring them to their specific needs and priorities. This project aims to promote autonomy and improve services such as health care, education, and infrastructure within these communities. By demonstrating the efficacy of self-governance, it seeks to enhance the capacity of tribes to address their unique challenges and foster sustainable development.
