Tribal Self-Governance in Oklahoma

One hundred thirty-six compact records, one Interior cell

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 15.022 meets Oklahoma place of performance. The dollar book is $1,545,279,360.37. The award count is 136. Interior Tribal Self-Governance funding typically posts as compact and funding-agreement actions to participating tribes. One hundred thirty-six records do not equal 136 tribes; annual funding agreements and modifications can share the tape.

The join does not prove that Oklahoma’s tribal land base, citizen counts, or a particular compact election caused $1,545,279,360.37. Those are other series. This packet does not split natural-resources programs from social-service programs inside the compact. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Oklahoma’s full Interior obligation book has left the CFDA-by-state definition. Indian Housing Block Grants (CFDA 14.867) is a HUD cell on the same statewide stack, not this Interior line. The 136 figure is a record count, not a tribal-citizen headcount.

A compact tape, not a housing-unit tape

One hundred thirty-six awards under $1,545,279,360.37 imply a mean near $11,362,348 per award. Larger compact packages can sit well above that average; smaller amendments can sit below it. The packet has no median and no share on the largest ten awards.

Cite both columns without converting the mean into a typical tribal government budget. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast $11,362,348 as a per-tribe operating cost.

Questions

How much Tribal Self-Governance spending is in Oklahoma?

USAspending.gov shows $1,545,279,360.37 in CFDA 15.022 obligations coded to Oklahoma across 136 awards. The join uses the program number and Oklahoma place of performance. The total is obligations, not outlays.

Does 136 awards mean 136 tribes received compacts?

No. The extract counts 136 award records tagged to CFDA 15.022 and Oklahoma. Annual funding agreements and modifications can appear as separate records. The implied mean is about $11,362,348 per award from the two packet facts.

Is $1.55 billion Oklahoma’s full federal spending?

No. $1,545,279,360.37 is only the Tribal Self-Governance cell. Other CFDA programs with Oklahoma place of performance sit on the statewide hub. Nationwide 15.022 is not limited to Oklahoma.

Do these obligations equal cash drawn on compacts?

No. $1,545,279,360.37 is an obligation sum. Outlays are a different USAspending series. Compact drawdowns can lag the federal obligation.
