Interior Tribal Self-Governance obligations 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 The facts do not publish a median, a range, or unique recipients. 17 is a record count in an aggregate, not 17 tribes and not 17 compact years.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 Unique recipient names are unpublished and are not invented here.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.

Montana geography on the 15.022 tag

MT is the place-of-performance code. A compact can post to a tribal headquarters address even when service delivery spans many counties. Awards coded to North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, or Washington stay outside $190,798,261.69 even when a reservation crosses a state line.

Montana federal spending is the all-program parent. 15.022 is one row on Montana programs. $190.8 million is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Tribal Self-Governance in Montana for the filtered table, CFDA 15.022 for the catalog without a Montana filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $190,798,261.69.

What Interior self-governance in Montana does not prove

A large 15.022 total tagged to Montana does not measure compact performance, program delivery, or enrollment. It does not equal invoices paid. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. The headline remains $190,798,261.69 on 17 awards for Tribal Self-Governance in Montana.

Keep both sides of the join: Tribal Self-Governance (Interior 15.022) and Montana, obligations only. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a compact-evaluation story. Tribe names are not in the facts.

Using the Montana × 15.022 overlay

The overlay target is the Montana × CFDA 15.022 table. Open the matching overlay when you want the same $190,798,261.69 / 17-award cell in the site’s data chrome. CFDA 15.022 drops the Montana filter. Montana federal spending drops the CFDA filter. Montana programs lists other catalogs beside this pair. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

This page exists because two tables meet: a CFDA program and a place-of-performance state. It does not exist to rank Montana, to name contractors, or to treat obligations as cash. The pair is 15.022 plus MT. Obligations of $190,798,261.69 are not outlays. Cite Tribal Self-Governance together with Montana whenever you reuse $190,798,261.69. 17 remains an award-record count on USAspending.gov. The overlay path is the live table for this 15.022 × MT cell. Later bulk files can restate $190,798,261.69 without changing the join key. Place of performance remains Montana; CFDA remains 15.022. Do not fold IHS 93.210 or tribal-college 15.027 into $190,798,261.69. Do not treat 17 as a tribe roster.

Limits of the packet facts for Montana 15.022

Researchers who need award-level rows should open the overlay table and USAspending.gov rather than stretch $190,798,261.69 into a program evaluation. The join is a filter, not a causal claim.
