    The Department of the Interior has announced programs and fiscal targets for 2025 that can be part of self-governance funding agreements with Indian Tribes, excluding the Bureau of Indian Affairs. These agreements allow Tribes to manage certain federal programs that relate to managing resources like lands and waters. The document lists eligible programs from different offices such as the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service, and highlights the objective to strengthen tribal sovereignty, self-determination, and collaboration in managing federal lands. Self-governance agreements have been made with several Tribes across various areas.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is saying which programs Indian Tribes can be in charge of next year, except for programs directly run by a special tribe group. This helps tribes take care of lands and waters together with the government to make sure they stay nice and healthy.
