![["The Indian Action Team Program was initiated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs in 1974 to provide skills training and support tribal businesses on reservations. The program is designed to help tribes develop capabilities and management skills, with a focus on job training and development. Training is conducted in three phases, with the ultimate goal of empowering tribes to take over the operation and management of programs on their reservations. The program is administered through Buy-Indian contracting, with tribes responsible for meeting program objectives. Benefits of the program include job skills development, completion of tribal projects, and economic development. The success of the program relies on maximum local Indian input and involvement. Steps for applying for the program include preparing a tribal resolution and submitting a proposal."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_140_38_0000%20--%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Indian%20Action,%201976/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_140_38_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Empowering Indian Communities: The Indian Action Team Program")
