The Administration of Native Americans (ANA) Environmental Regulatory Enhancement program provides funding for the costs of planning, developing, and implementing programs designed to improve the capability of Tribal governing bodies to regulate environmental quality pursuant to federal and tribal environmental laws, which empowers Tribal and Alaska Native communities to manage lands, water, and air in their regions. Projects funded through this opportunity will focus on one or more of the following activities:
 

  • Strengthening environmental regulatory programs.
  • Integrating traditional ecological knowledge into program administration to
  • advance historic preservation.
  • Advancing the management and co-management of lands.
  • Addressing climate change.
  • Promoting environmental justice.
