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.

Scholarship and Adult
Education

post-secondary academic success with the
intention of giving back to our communities.
• Increase in funds for scholarships is critically
important to ensure financial support to students
so that they can successfully reach their
educational and academic goals.

and professional skills for workplace and society
in general.
Social Services

positions to meet program needs.
• Providing funds for training and staff
development, is critically needed.
• Funding would allow for the program to enhance
the service providers and support staff needed
to support the families in need of services in our
communities.
Tribal Courts

positions.
• Increase funding to upgrade and purchase
new equipment.
• An effective and efficient tribal court system
contributes to a safe community, increases the
welfare of all members and helps ensure
productive citizens.
ROAD MAINTENANCE
• The ultimate goal of the program is to
make our communities safer.
• Increase funding to provide adequate
staffing.

heavy equipment needed to maintain
roads.

NEEDS-BASED BUDGET
• 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.
• 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.
NEEDS-BASED BUDGET
CONT’D
• 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.
• 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.
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.
• Funding needed to provide adequate staffing of
equipment operators, mechanics and field supervisors
for Road Maintenance. Increase funding to replace and
repair heavy equipment needed to maintain roads.
