SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The agenda is as follows:
1. NEA Resources
a. The NEA, established by Congress in 1965, is an independent
Federal agency that is the largest funder of the arts and arts
education in communities nationwide and a catalyst of public and
private support for the arts. By advancing equitable opportunities for
arts participation and practice, the NEA fosters and sustains an
environment in which the arts benefit everyone in the United States.
This is accomplished primarily by providing resources to support the
creative lives of all communities in the United States. Grants are
awarded for specific projects to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations,
federally recognized Tribes, or units of State or local government.
Individual makers, artists, and culture bearers are recognized and
supported through programs such as the National Heritage Fellowship,
Jazz Masters, and Creative Writing Fellowships. Forty percent of the
NEA's program budget is granted to State Arts Agencies and Regional
Arts Organizations, which make subgrants to support additional arts
activities across the nation.
i. What is your awareness of our agency's work?
ii. Have NEA resources impacted your community? If so, how?
iii. To what extent do you see the arts and cultural activities of
your tribal community reflected in the resources we offer?
iv. The review criteria for our primary grant program, Grants for
Arts Projects, includes artistic excellence, which is defined as ``The
quality of the artists and other key individuals, creative process,
works of art, organizations, arts education providers, artistic
partners, and/or services involved in the project and their relevance
to the audience or communities the project aims to serve.'' How does
this definition of artistic excellence resonate with the artistic and
cultural activities of your tribal community?
2. Tribal Engagement
a. In recent years, the NEA has made grants to Tribal governments
and Tribal Colleges & Universities (TCUs). We also have recognized
Indigenous artists with National Heritage Fellowships. These direct
grants to Tribes, Tribal citizens, and TCUs are in addition to the
grants we make to Native-serving nonprofits.
i. How can the NEA expand on this engagement with tribes and
increase awareness of these opportunities?
ii. If the NEA has the resources to send staff representation to
in-person events, where would our participation be most effective?
b. The NEA annually updates the Federal Resources for Native Arts &
Cultural Activities, which is a consolidation of opportunities offered
by federal agencies for organizations looking for funding and other
resources to support Native arts and cultural activities.
i. Have you ever accessed this publication?
ii. Is this publication a useful resource to make available to
tribal communities?
iii. How can we increase awareness of this resource guide?
3. Partnerships With Tribal-Serving Organizations
a. Tribal Arts Councils: At the last NEA Tribal Consultation
session, the NEA discussed the possibility of supporting the work of
Tribal Arts Councils, bodies organized to support arts and cultural
activities at the regional level by providing programs and support
services. These Tribal Arts Councils could be similar in form to State,
regional or local Arts agencies,
[[Page 64475]]
and would support the identified need for greater regional Tribal
resources.
i. How would you see a tribal arts council benefiting your
community?
ii. What regional needs would apply to tribal arts councils?
iii. Would a government point of contact specific to arts grants be
beneficial?
iv. What support would Tribal Arts Councils require from NEA?
v. Do you currently work with your State and/or Local Arts Agency?
