§ 107 Federal Trust Obligation
The Tribe reserves the right to provide Assistance in circumstances where federal funding is insufficient to operate federal programs designed to benefit Applicants and when federal funding is insufficient to adequately and consistently fulfill federal trust obligations to the Tribe. The adoption of Approved Programs is not intended to relieve or diminish the federal government of its funding and trust responsibilities to the Tribe. Noting herein shall waive he Tribe’s right to seek funding shortfalls or enforce the trust rights of the Tribe and its Tribal Members. The Tribe shall be entitled to government-to-government consultation and coordination with the federal government for General Welfare Programs and Assistance provided by the Tribe pursuant to this Title.
