Designed to provide a practical approach to the rules and regulations governing implementation of the American Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (PL 93-638) in conjunction with the Johnson-O'Malley Act (JOM), this technical assistance handbook is written in comic book style. Using straightforward language, this manual synthesizes and explains the way in which this legislation should work. Among the areas covered are: the contracting relationship between the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and American Indian tribes; regulations applying to Indian corporations; Indian Education Committees; fiscal and administrative responsibilities; contracting eligibility requirements and contract proposal regulations; JOM eligibility; the authority of BIA Area Offices; supplemental and/or operational programs; Indian representation on school boards; budgets; assurances; how to prepare a contract; budget formula; Indian Procurement Regulations; management structuring; and the Arizona Revised Statutes.
