Native (AI/AN) programs are located. 

We are convening the OHS Tribal

We will schedule additional

The agenda for the scheduled OHS 

Tribal Consultations will be organized 

around the statutory purposes of Head 

Start Tribal Consultations related to 

meeting the needs of AI/AN children 

and families, taking into consideration 

funding allocations, distribution 

formulas, and other issues affecting the 

delivery of Head Start services in their 

geographic locations. In addition, OHS 

will share actions taken and in progress 

to address the issues and concerns 

raised in 2011 OHS Tribal 

Consultations.
