Southwest Priorities
• Due to the lack of funding across the
board for our programs, it is unrealistic
to choose which program is a priority
over another.
• For too long, Tribes have been left with
fighting over the scraps of an
underfunded budget.
Tribal Priority Allocation
(TPA)
Annually, tribes are requested to
establish their budget priorities. The
Southwest Regional Tribes contend that
all Tribal Priority Allocation (TPA)
programs are priorities. It is unrealistic
to say that one program is more
important than another, especially when
they are all inadequately funded.

Natural Resources
Management
• Improving management protection and development of Indian land
and natural resource assets will increase revenue, jobs, and the
protection of cultural, spiritual and traditional resources.
• Funding will continue our efforts to provide program resources to
help conserve and manage our trust lands and resources.
• Livestock and agricultural production play a huge role in the daily
lives of the Tribal communities in our Region. Livelihoods and
heritage are dependent on the protection of these lands.
• Increase funding in this area will assist in the sustainability of the
agriculture and livestock production.
• Funding for Forestry will provide better long term management
planning, improved compliance to federal laws and policy (especially
NEPA), and better control. This will set forth the standards for
management and provide basis for the protection of valued forest
resources

NEEDS-BASED BUDGET
• In the Social Services unit there is a need for fulltime
professional positions to meet program needs. Provide
funding for training and staff development. Additional
dollar would allow for the programs to enhance the
service providers and the other support staff needed to
support the amount of families in need of services.
• Funding for Education has been decreasing and services
are severely constrained. Increase funding is needed for
the increase in education participants, culturally relevant
programs and Scholarship funding for higher education
•
NEEDS-BASED BUDGET
CONT’D
• Aid to Tribal Government provides support and basic
services to all its community. Funding will allow for
continued Self-Determination project, Self-government,
renovations to Tribal Government structures and
upgrade to technology and training.
• Tribal Courts provide court services to all that appear
before the Tribal court. Funding is needed to fund
professional court positions, upgrade equipment, and
technical assistance to update legal codes.
•
NEEDS-BASED BUDGET
CONT’D
• Funding is desperately needed for Law Enforcement
Agency in the set up of the judicial infrastructure,
certification training for Tribal Officers, and funding is
needed for the positions in the area of correctional,
Tribal Officer and staff.
