Condensed by Native Village
The Department of the
Interior has awarded more than
$7,000,000
in grants for
42 Native
American tribes. The grants help fund projects that
benefit fish and wildlife resources and their habitat.
“Tribal Wildlife Grants are much more than a fiscal
resource for Tribes. The projects and partnerships
supported by this program have enhanced our commitment
to Native Americans and to the United States’ shared
wildlife resources,” said DOI head, Ken Salazar.
The grants are provided exclusively to
Federally-recognized Indian tribal governments.
