The Executive Order affirms that Tribal self-governance is about the fundamental right of a people to determine their own destiny and to prosper and flourish on their own terms. It also affirms that Tribal governments must be treated as permanent, equal, and vital parts of America’s overlapping system of government.

To fulfill this promise, the Executive Order:

• Requires federal agencies to take action to ensure federal funding for Tribes is accessible, flexible, and equitable.
• Creates a one-stop-shop for federal funding available to Tribes.
• Better embraces trust responsibilities by assessing unmet federal obligations to support Tribal Nations.
