§3208 — Title 25 Indians | U.S. Code

Summary

The Service, working with the Bureau, must create a grant program to help Indian tribes set up treatment programs on reservations for people who were victims of child abuse or neglect. An Indian tribe or a group of tribes, alone or with an urban Indian organization, can apply for a grant. Applications must use the Service’s required form and deadline and must explain the program, the data behind it, how it will use existing reservation services, and the treatment methods it will use. The Service must promote treatments that fit each tribe’s culture, customs, and traditions. Grant recipients must give the Service any information it asks for so the Service can judge the program and make sure money is spent properly, and they must send a final report when the grant ends. By December 23, 2026, the Service must report to Congress on how grantees used the funds and any other required details. The law authorizes $10,000,000 for each fiscal year 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, and 1997.
