Abstract: The Service offers eligible
Native American, Alaskan Native, and
Pacific Islander high school students the
opportunity to apply for the Native
Youth Community Adaptation and
Leadership Congress (Congress). The
mission of the Congress is to develop
future conservation leaders with the
skills, knowledge, and tools to address
environmental change and conservation
challenges to better serve their schools
and home communities. The Congress
supports and operates under the
following authorities:
• Executive Order (E.O.) 13175,
‘‘Consultation and Coordination With
Indian Tribal Governments’’ (November
6, 2000);
• E.O. 13515, ‘‘Increasing
Participation of Asian Americans and
Pacific Islanders in Federal Programs’’
(October 14, 2009);
• E.O. 13592, ‘‘Improving American
Indian and Alaska Native Educational
Opportunities and Strengthening Tribal
Colleges and Universities’’ (December 2,
2011);
• Public Law 116–9, ‘‘John D. Dingell,
Jr. Conservation, Management, and
Recreation Act’’ (March 12, 2019);

• White House Memorandum on
Government-to-Government
Relationships with Native Governments
(2004);
• Department of the Interior
Secretarial Order (SO) 3206, ‘‘American
Indian Tribal Rights, Federal-Tribal
Trust Responsibilities, and the
Endangered Species Act’’ (June 5, 1997);
• SO 3317, ‘‘DOI Policy: Department
of the Interior Policy on Consultation
with Indian Tribes’’ (December 1, 2011);
• SO 3335, ‘‘Reaffirmation of the
Federal Trust Responsibility to
Federally Recognized Indian Tribes and
Individual Indian Beneficiaries’’ (2014);
and
• Service Policy 520 FW 1, ‘‘Native
American Policy’’ (January 20, 2016).
The weeklong environmental
conference fosters an inclusive,
meaningful, educational opportunity for
aspiring Native youth leaders interested
in addressing environmental issues
facing Native American, Alaskan Native,
and Pacific Islander communities.
Eligible students—representing a
diverse mix of Native communities from
various geographic locations, both urban
and rural—compete for the opportunity
to represent their Native communities
from across the country. The students
learn about environmental change and
conservation while strengthening their
leadership skills for addressing
conservation issues within their own
Native communities.
Through a cooperative agreement
with the New Mexico Wildlife
Federation (NMWF), the Service solicits
and evaluates applications from eligible
students interested in applying for the
program. The NMWF notifies successful
applicants and arranges all travel for
them. Information collected from each
applicant via an online application
administered by the NMWF includes:
• Applicant’s full name, contact
information, date of birth, and tribal/
community affiliation;
• Emergency contact information for
applicant;
• Name and contact information of
applicant’s mentor;
• Applicant’s school name and
address;
• Applicant’s current grade in school;
• Applicant’s participation in
extracurricular activities, school clubs,
or community organizations;
• Applicant’s volunteer experience;
and
• Applicant’s accomplishments or
awards received.
Each applicant also provides essay
responses to questions concerning
topics such as environmental issues
affecting his or her home/tribal
community, how or whether the

environmental issues are addressed,
and/or how, as a Native youth leader, he
or she can lead the community in
adapting to a changing environment.

their health and safety while on site at

The Office of the Assistant
Secretary—Indian Affairs, through IEED,
is soliciting proposals from Indian
Tribes as listed in 85 FR 5462 for grant
funding to support Tribal programs to
document Native languages or build
Tribal capacity to create or expand
language preservation programs. The
LLGP will exclude as grantees BIE
schools and BIE-funded schools or
programs targeting students enrolled in
those schools.
The funding will focus on small or
start-up programs whose objective is to
document or build the capacity to
preserve Native languages that are
losing users but which still have active
users at the grandparent generation. The
LLGP seeks to document, preserve, and
revitalize languages that are used for
face-to-face communication; languages
that can be used by a child-bearing
generation, but are not being transmitted
to children; languages whose only active
users are members of the grandparent
generation or older; languages whose
only active users are members of the
grandparent generation or older but who
have little opportunity to use them; and
