Title VI Policy
The Native American Connections policy assures full compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights act of 1964 and related statutes and regulations in all programs and activities. Title VI states that “no person shall on the grounds of race, color or national origin be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination” under any Native American Connections sponsored program or activity. There is no distinction between the sources of funding.
Native American Connections also assures that every effort will be made to prevent discrimination through the impacts of its programs, policies and activities on minority and low-income populations. Furthermore, Native American Connections will take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to services for persons with limited English proficiency.
When Native American Connections distributes Federal-aid funds to another entity/person, Native American Connections will ensure all subrecipients fully comply with Native American Connections Title VI Nondiscrimination Program requirements. The President/CEO has delegated the authority to the Director of Human Resources as Title VI Program Coordinator, to oversee and implement FTA Title VI requirements.
