IFMAT-IV Report

nAppendix xin How well are tribes supported by the BIA?

Table xi was developed from the responses provided by the tribes during the virtual meetings and when the IFMAT members were on site visits. During the virtual meeting and onsite visits, the team reviewed a series of questions that support the information and data necessary for the team to collect for each of the tasks mandated by NIFRMA and ITC (see IFMAT IV Tribal Virtual Meeting Questions). The specific questions for this Table were: How well are you supported by the BIA? Are the BIA handbooks useful? What types of technical assistance/training is provided to you from the BIA? A total of 38 tribes responded to one or more of the questions. Not all tribes responded and based on the number of responses for each question, 50% of the tribes that responded felt supported by the BIA, 45% of the tribes used the handbooks, and 37% responded that the BIA training and technical support was “good”.
