People with Disabilities on Tribal Lands: Education, Health Care, Vocational Rehabilitation, and Independent Living
Created by the National Council on Disability, August 1, 2003.
American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people with disabilities, particularly those who live in Indian country, face unique circumstances and legal environments that require special outreach and consultation in addition to the development of culturally appropriate methods and tools to address their unmet needs for services and support. This project, People with Disabilities on Tribal Lands: Education, Health Care, Vocational Rehabilitation, and Independent Living, was intended to facilitate consultation and input from AI/AN people with disabilities, tribal leaders, and community organizations, to obtain information, and to recommend strategies for improving services to people with disabilities who live in Indian Country.
