Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2024, $812,145)

The Fort Peck Assiniboine & Sioux Tribes is a federally recognized tribe located in northeastern Montana. With this funding, the Fort Peck Tribe will hire two full-time employees to increase the capacity of the Fort Peck Tribes to implement and manage an effective full-time Department of Justice Tribal Access Program on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation to improve public safety. The tribe currently has Tribal Access Program kiosks but does not have the necessary personnel to run the program effectively to maximize the impact. These funds will fill that gap.
