Tribal Self-Governance in Montana

What the 15.022–Montana join reports

CFDA 15.022 is titled TRIBAL SELF-GOVERNANCE. Crossed with Montana place of performance, the obligation sum is $190,798,261.69 on 17 awards. The national 15.022 hub includes other states. Montana’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $190,798,261.69 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of compacting tribes.

IHS Tribal Self-Governance (93.210) is an HHS catalog, not this Interior 15.022 cell. Mixing IHS into $190,798,261.69 would invent a broader self-governance total than this cell contains. Packet facts are $190,798,261.69, 17 awards, MT, and 15.022. Correlation is not causation. Assistance to tribally controlled colleges (15.027) is a separate Montana join.

Seventeen awards under Montana Interior self-governance

Seventeen awards against $190,798,261.69 yield a simple mean near $11.22 million. The facts do not publish a median, a range, or unique recipients. 17 is a record count in an aggregate, not 17 tribes and not 17 compact years. A compacting tribe can post multiple instruments across modifications.

Treat the mean as arithmetic, not as a typical compact size. Unique recipient names are unpublished and are not invented here. Downward modifications, if they exist in the raw file, are already netted into the total supplied in the facts. Do not annualize $190,798,261.69; this packet publishes no year field.
