From SAMHSA's Weekly Financing News Pulse: National Edition - August 12, 2011: On August 5, U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, U.S. Department of Interior (DOI) Secretary
Ken Salazar, and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced a new federal
framework to coordinate substance abuse prevention and treatment among American
Indian and Alaskan Native communities.
Called for under the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010, which President
Obama signed in July 2010, the Memorandum
of Agreement (MOA) describes how an inter-departmental
coordinating council will guide the new federal effort while the U.S. Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Administration’s (SAMHSA) Office of Indian Alcohol and
Substance Abuse will coordinate tribal substance abuse programs at the federal
level.
