SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Administration for Children and Families
(ACF), a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS), promotes the economic and social well-being of families,
children, individuals and communities with funding, strategic
partnerships, guidance, training, and technical assistance. ACF's
programs serve a wide variety of groups, including individuals and
families with low income, refugees, Native Americans, and many others.
To carry out its activities, ACF awards grants to state and local
governments, non-profit groups, faith and community-based
organizations, federally recognized Indian tribes, and in some
programs, state-recognized or other Native American communities. ACF
furnishes technical assistance, guidance, and overall supervision to
grantees that, in turn, are responsible for direct delivery of
services.
Pursuant to Executive Order 13175 of November 6, 2000 and the ACF
Tribal Consultation Policy signed in 2011, ACF will host an annual
tribal consultation in recognition of the government-to-government
relationship between the United States and Indian tribes. Tribes may
comment on any program or service of ACF as part of the consultation.
This year, when H.R. 1865, Further Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2020, became Public Law No: 116-94 on
[[Page 27418]]
December 20, 2019, the appropriations language encouraged ACF ``to
convene a working group of federal early childhood program
administrators, tribal early childhood stakeholders, and tribal leaders
to examine coordination issues that may be impacting early childhood
initiatives in tribal communities.'' We are interested in tribal leader
input on barriers and opportunities regarding synchronizing early
childhood initiatives in their communities.
We invite tribes to provide written testimony, in advance, to the
Administration for Children and Families to help guide discussion.
Testimonies are to be submitted no later than June 10, 2020 to the
following: Jeannie Hovland, Commissioner, Administration for Native
Americans, [email protected].
