  • Tribes: ISDEAA lets Tribes run federal programs such as health care, education, public safety, and natural resource management, improving local control, service delivery, and policy innovation. As of March 2024, 526 of 574 federally recognized Tribes (92%) had self-determination contracts and 295 had self-governance compacts.
  • Tribal schools and local services: The resolution notes wide Tribal use of ISDEAA and related laws to deliver education, elder and child care, nutrition, housing, and economic development. As of March 2025, 129 of 187 Bureau of Indian Education funded schools (69%) are Tribally controlled.
  • Federal program implementation: It highlights later expansions and parallel authorities across agencies that expanded Tribal self-determination. As of July 2024, the Indian Health Service reported 121 self-governance compacts and 141 ISDEAA funding agreements across its 12 Areas.
