Greetings from all of us at KIVA! We are excited over your interest in attending our upcoming seminar. We strive to provide the best training experience to Indian Country at an affordable rate. Included in this packet we have training topic information, seminar instructor information, hotel accommodation and venue information and the registration form. The seminar agenda will be available one week before seminar date.

Who Should Attend? Tribal council members, other tribal officials, tribal school boards, health boards, tribal chartered organizations, program directors, managers; finance and accounting staff, grants and contracts staff; tribal attorneys; Federal contracting officers including Awarding Officials, AOTRs, Federal line officers; and tribal consultants.

What Will I Learn? Public Law 93-638, the Indian Self-Determination & Education Assistance Act, allows tribes to redesign programs to meet their unique needs; contracts are to be “liberally construed” in favor of the tribes; and there are specific funding protections and entitlements such as Contract Support Costs. While most, if not all tribes operate programs under the Act, many are not fully aware of the intent of the law and their rights under the law. This course provides an extensive overview of the Act and the entitlements that tribes enjoy under P.L. 93-638.

This seminar instruction will include:            
