Actual services are provided by tribal, state, county, or city governments, and public and private local grantees. ACF assists service providers through funding, policy direction, and information services. Federally recognized tribes may apply directly to HHS to operate a TANF block grant program. Like states, tribes may use their TANF funding in any manner reasonably calculated to accomplish the purposes of TANF. Tribal TANF funds are directly subtracted from the state TANF grant and tribal grants require no matching funds. ACF is committed to supporting programs and activities that prevent the occurrence and recurrence of abuse of Native American children. We directly fund tribes and tribal organizations for child abuse and neglect prevention efforts through the ACF Children’s Bureau. More information is available at cbexpress.acf.hhs.gov. With the publication of Final Rules and Regulations for Tribal Child Support Enforcement in March 2004, Tribes and Tribal organizations can choose to operate a Title IV-D Tribal Child Support Enforcement Program.

In Native American history, gay, lesbian, and/or transgender individuals are considered sacred and treated with the utmost respect. They are the historians, healers, and people of empowerment. They possessed the delicate balance of male and female, and are honored for being distinctive and having a different spiritual calling. For their tribes, they are the mediators between the spirit world and the natural world. They are known in their separate languages as “naadle” (nad le) Diné, “winkte” (winkday) Lakota, and “bade” (bah-day) from the Hidatsa language. In 1999 the Two Spirit Society of Denver formed to confront and combat homophobia, racism and oppression. Since, then our organization has refined our programs to address and educate issues on the effects of “historical trauma“, colonization and acculturation within the Native American communities. Our education targets the Native, non-Native American communities and the LGBT community at large.
