ACTION: Award announcement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Administration for Native Americans (ANA) herein announces 
a Program Expansion Supplement to the Red Lake Band of Chippewa 
Indians, Red Lake, Minnesota. This supplement for $136,400 will extend 
funding for 11 youth volunteers through the second year of the project. 
In FY 2005, ANA provided an urgent grant award to the Tribe to assist 
in mitigating the effects of the tragic events of the school shooting 
in March 2005 that resulted in the death of students, faculty and 
staff. The shooting marked the highest death toll in U.S. school 
shootings since the Columbine High School massacre in April 1999.
    Due to the devastation created by the high school shooting, ANA is 
providing urgent financial assistance for minor renovations to the 
local community centers to support positive community development; 
funding to hire 11 volunteers to assist youth and members of the 
community in coping with this event; and building support systems, 
which will aid in preventing future tragedies.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sheila Cooper, Director of Program 
Operations, toll-free at 877-922-9262.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This award will be made pursuant to Section 
803 of the Native American Programs Act of 1974.

    Dated: June 7, 2006.
Kimberly Romine,
Deputy Commissioner, Administration for Native Americans.
