SUMMARY: The Administration for Native Americans (ANA) herein announces 
an urgent grant award to the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians, Red 
Lake, Minnesota, in the amount of $311,400 for a project period of 24 
months. This urgent grant award will assist the Tribe 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 eleven 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: August 2, 2005.

Deputy Commissioner, Administration for Native Americans.
