BIA-OJS 2019 TLOA report

<p>The Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010, Public Law 111-211 (TLOA) was designed to provide greater freedom for Tribal nations to design and operate their own justice systems, making Federal departments and agencies more accountable in their service of Native people and lands. TLOA specifically requires the BIA Office of Justice Services (OJS) to report on spending, staffing, and unmet needs for PS&amp;J programs in Indian Country. This report includes spending and staffing data for 2021, as well as annual cost estimates, for PS&amp;J programs. The spending displayed may vary slightly from enacted amounts due to reprogramming of funds by BIA or Tribes. To meet the reporting requirements of TLOA, this report equates spending with BIA-obligated funding for PS&amp;J programs and staffing with the filled Full Time Equivalent (FTE) positions in BIA-operated PS&amp;J programs plus estimates of FTE for Tribally-operated BIA-funded PS&amp;J programs. As a proxy for unmet needs, the report provides an estimate of total annual costs to operate appropriate-sized, fully staffed Law Enforcement andDetention/Corrections programs, as well as Tribal Courts, in Indian Country. This report does not include any funding made available for PS&amp;J purposes in Indian Country on a permanent or one-time basis by organizations other than BIA. Tribal PS&amp;J programs occasionally receive funding from Federal, State, and Tribal organizations other than BIA. The full scope of unmet needs cannot be addressed without considering non-BIA sources of funding, on which data are not readily available. To ensure consistency of data, this report uses models to estimate annual program costs and FTE needs across the board. Previous BIA efforts to use a web-based data collection survey tool accessible to Tribes on the BIA webpage, www.bia.gov, yielded information that varied substantially in degrees of completeness and proved difficult to verify. TLOA requires BIA to submit a detailed spending report and the methodology used to disburse funds for PS&amp;J programs administered by OJS. OJS allocates its recurring appropriations to 191 Law Enforcement programs; 96 Detention/Corrections programs (for 55 Tribes); 15 district, headquarters, and support offices; 230+ TribalCourts; and other BIA agency offices that support PS&amp;J programs. The BIA funds are spent either by BIA to deliver direct services or by Tribes when they contract services with funds transmitted to the Tribes through self-determination contracts or self-governance compacts, pursuant to the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, P.L. 93-638.</p>

BIA OJS Detention Programs

The ultimate mission of BIA OJS Corrections is ensuring Indian Country facilities are operated in a safe, secure, and humane manner. The mission of the Office of Justice Services (OJS) is to uphold Tribal sovereignty and provide for the safety of Indian communities by ensuring the protection of life and property, enforcing laws, maintaining justice and order, and by ensuring that sentenced American Indian offenders are confined in safe, secure, and humane environments. Ensuring public safety and justice is arguably the most fundamental of government services provided in Tribal communities. Authority to enforce laws, including detention of offenders, is derived from 25 U.S.C. Section 2801 et seq. (Indian Law Enforcement Reform Act), 104 Stat. 473, Pub. L. 101-379, as amended; 124 Stat. 2262, Pub. L. 111-211 (Tribal Law and Order Act). Authority to further the development, operation, and enhancement of Tribal justice systems and BIA Courts of Indian Offenses is derived from 25 U.S.C. Section 3601 (Tribal Justice Support Act).  Section 3611 tasks OJS with three functions: schedule and coordinate independent Tribal court reviews and complete these reviews annually; schedule training and technical assistance to Tribes and tribal organizations focusing on setting up and empowering Tribal courts; and study and conduct research on Tribal justice systems. Jurisdiction: The Office of Justice Services holds jurisdiction over crimes committed within Indian Country as defined by 18 U.S.C. '1151(a), (b) &amp;; (c) - formal [recognized treaty boundaries] &amp; informal [Tribal trust lands] reservations (including rights-of-way/roads), dependent Indian communities, &amp; (c) Indian allotments held in trust or restricted status (including rights-of-way/roads) where no congressional grant of jurisdiction to state government over the Indian country involved exists. Programs address major Federal crimes as well as state crimes assimilated into Federal statutes, such as murder, manslaughter, child sexual abuse, kidnapping, rape, assault, arson, burglary, robbery, and the production, sale or distribution of illegal drugs. (Authority: Major Crimes Act - 18 U.S.C. 1153 &amp; state code) Tribal criminal codes are also enforced. (Authority: tribal code or 25 CFR Pt. 11, if a CFR Court of Indian Offenses)

BIA Surface Inventory (Southwest Region), 2025

<p>Surface trust lands are displayed and summarized in a table by Tribal entity. A Tribal entity may be a federally recognized tribe or a constituent component of a federally recognized tribe. For each Tribal entity in the table the total trust acreage is given as well as the breakout of tribal trust and allotted trust acreage. Tribal trust lands are those where a tribe is the named landowner, and the tribe has a full percentage ownership interest in the tract division. Allotted trusts consist of two definitions of allotted. An allotted land may be a land where the tribe is the named landowner but only has a partial percentage interest in the tract division. An allotted land may also be one in which an individual associate of a tribe has any percentage ownership. A trust land would be any tribal, or allotted land that can be tied back the tribal entity. For any regional trust lands that do not have an identified entity interest or have a split entity interest that does not have a clear definition of the split, the trust lands are summarized in a row labeled undesignated. The Land Area Representation (LAR), BIA Regional Boundaries, Regional and BIA offices, as well as tribal entities without land are added in each region and adjacent territories when suitable to provide context. The tribal entity names are given by common use names instead of federal register names and may be further split into subdivisions within the recognized tribe. The Land Area Representation (LAR) is a combined dataset which creates a union of trust lands and reservation extents. The polygons are organized around tribal divisions and groupings and lack disambiguation between the trust land and reservation extent components. Due to the static creation date the LAR may not match different sources for components of the LAR. The Trust Asset and Accounting Management System (TAAMS) which is the system of record for trust lands is the source for records used in acreage calculations. <span style='font-family:&quot;Aptos&quot;,sans-serif; font-size:12.0pt;'><span style='line-height:115%;'>(Last calculated May 2025)</span></span> Tribal lands are lands where the tribe is the named landowner, and the tribe has a full percentage ownership interest of a tract division. Allotted lands are those in which the tribe is the named landowner but is a partial percentage ownership interest of a tract division, or an allotment may be individually owned by a tribe associate with any percentage ownership interest in a tract division.
