Current Actions: Native American Basic Grants support existing
library operations and maintain core library services, particularly as
they relate to the following goals in the Museum and Library Services
Act (20 U.S.C. 9141). Indian tribes are eligible to apply for funding
under the Native American Library Services Enhancement Grant program.
Entities such as libraries, schools, tribal colleges, or departments of
education are not eligible applicants, although they may be involved in
the administration of this program and their staff may serve as project
directors in partnership with an eligible applicant. For purposes of
funding under this program, ``Indian tribe'' means any tribe, band,
nation, or other organized group or community, including any Alaska
native village, regional corporation, or village corporation (as
defined in, or established pursuant to, the Alaska Native Claims
Settlement Act (43 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.)), which is recognized by the
Secretary of the Interior as eligible for the special programs and
services provided by the United States to Indians because of their
status as Indians. A list of eligible entities is available from the
Bureau of Indian Affairs.
To be eligible for this program you must be able to document an
existing library that meets, at a minimum, three basic criteria: (1)
Regularly scheduled hours, (2) staff, and (3) materials available for
library users.
This action is to create the form and instructions for the Final
Performance Report Form for the grant program for the next three years.
