The enactment of P.L. 93-638, the Indian Self Determination Education and Assistance Act of 1975, and subsequent amendments, allows Indian tribes of our country to have the authority to enter into contracts with the Federal government which give the tribes the opportunity to take over the responsibility to operate and administer programs serving their tribal members.
