Indian Affairs (IA) is committed to meaningful government-to-government consultation with Tribal Nations. The Tribal Interior Budget Council (TIBC) plays a critical role in ensuring that Tribal priorities inform the budget formulation process.
IA has heard from many TIBC participants in previous sessions indicating a desire for greater improvement in the overall TIBC process, including time spent on budget discussions and individual breakout sessions. IA is committed to working to enhance TIBC to ensure these sessions are meaningful, outcome-driven, and responsive to priorities across the 575 federally recognized tribes.
To prepare for these sessions, we would like to solicit your written feedback on strengthening TIBC. Please share your feedback through the following options:
- Follow-up questions: https://forms.office.com/g/0aiW3ZNTkX.
Please allocate approximately 10 minutes to complete the follow-up questions. No personally identifiable information will be captured.
- Written Comments can also be submitted by email to TIBCimprovement@BIA.GOV by Wednesday, May 20, 2026.
IA values your input on how to strengthen TIBC budget discussions. Your input will inform improvements and guide requirements for future cooperative agreements to support TIBC coordination.
