Summary

From October 11, 2000, Alaska priority funds for tribal allocations go only to tribes that on June 1 before the fiscal year have at least 25 Native members living in the village ('Natives'—Title 43, section 1602(b)). If a tribe does not meet that rule, its funds go to the region’s Alaska Native regional nonprofit corporation (listed in Public Law 104–193, 110 Stat. 2159), overriding federal resolutions.
