Summary

Native American Programs Act - Authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide financial assistance to public and nonprofit private agencies for projects to promote the economic and social self-sufficiency of American Indians, Hawaiian Natives, and Alaskan Natives. Directs the Secretary to consult with other Federal agencies to eliminate duplication or conflict of activities and to incorporate project findings into the programs of such other Federal agencies. Limits Federal assistance to 80 percent of project cost, unless the Secretary determines that more is necessary to further the purposes of this Act. Prohibits the Secretary from requiring more than a 20 percent non-Federal contribution. Requires that such projects be in addition to and not in substitution for comparable activities previously carried out without Federal assistance. Permits the Secretary to waive this requirement in certain circumstances. Provides for technical assistance and training for such projects. Directs the Secretary to establish overall plans and make public announcements concerning research, demonstration, and pilot projects. Requires submission of plans to: (1) the appropriate governing body of an Indian reservation or Alaskan Native village; or (2) State and local officials, when a project is not on or in an Indian reservation or Alaska Native village or Hawaiian homestead. Sets forth provisions for: (1) records and audits; (2) appeals, notice, and hearing; (3) evaluation; and (4) delegation of authority. Authorizes appropriations for fiscal years 1982 and 1983 to carry out this Act. Amends the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 to repeal the Native American Programs Act of 1974.
