U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 564w. Education and training program; purposes; subjects; transportation; subsistence; contracts; other education programs
Prior to the issuance of a proclamation in accordance with the
provisions of section 564q of this title, the Secretary is
authorized to undertake, within the limits of available
appropriations, a special program of education and training
designed to help the members of the tribe to earn a livelihood, to
conduct their own affairs, and to assume their responsibilities as
citizens without special services because of their status as
Indians. Such program may include language training, orientation in
non-Indian community customs and living standards, vocational
training and related subjects, transportation to the place of
training or instruction, and subsistence during the course of
training or instruction. For the purposes of such program the
Secretary is authorized to enter into contracts or agreements with
any Federal, State, or local governmental agency, corporation,
association, or person. Nothing in this section shall preclude any
Federal agency from undertaking any other program for the education
and training of Indians with funds appropriated to it.
