The text discusses key principles of the Self-Determination Act and Regulations. Key Principle #1 emphasizes that the Tribal Governing Body is the sole authority for the tribe in regards to the Act, and only tribal governments are eligible for Self-Determination grants. Key Principle #2 states that tribes are not required to use the tools provided by the Regulations or establish Self-Determination programs, and that tribes have the right to retain Bureau services if they choose. The overall goal of the Act and Regulations is to allow tribes to establish their own priorities and goals without Federal domination, and to ensure that Federal programs align with tribal priorities.
