OJP administers grant programs, supports research and evaluation projects, and provides training and statistical and technical assistance for Indian tribes. These programs are designed to enhance and support Indian tribes' ability to address crime, violence, and victimization in tribal communities and native villages. OJP's American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) Affairs Desk enhances access to information by federally recognized American Indian and Alaska Native tribes regarding funding opportunities, training and technical assistance, and other relevant information.

In FY 2006, the Office for Victims of Crime administers several new programs that support tribal victims. Also new this year is the opening of several large OJP programs, such as the JAG (Justice Assistance Grant) Program, to tribal applications.
