Hello All - and welcome to SGTV! – We are pleased to introduce a brand new tool from the office of Self-Governance Communication & Education. Here you can find video clips highlighting the successes of Tribal Self-Governance, as well as training clips from past conferences.

This channel for Self-Governance is new and over time we hope to build a substantial library of educational videos for all to benefit. Thank you for checking back here and don’t forget to visit us on our website at www.tribalselfgov.org where you will find more information.

 

Below you will find a more brief description about our office here at SGCE.


SGCE Mission:

The SGCE serves as an information clearinghouse on historical and current Self-Governance legislation, policy and implementation since 1988.  To share information and knowledge about Self-Governance with Self-Governance Tribes, Tribal Communities and all other interest parties.  To provide technical assistance to the  Office of Self-Governance (Department of the Interior) and Office of Tribal Self-Governance (Department of Health & Human Services) with a focus on: what Self-Governance means to Tribes, defining and exploring relationships, and the key policy provisions and intent of the Self-Governance statutes.

Who We Are:

We are a Tribally-based Communication & Education Consortium.  We strive to ensure that the tenets and purpose of Self-Governance are accurately communicated and clearly understood by Congress, the Administration, the Federal government, non-participating Self-Governance Tribes and all other interested parties.
