Social services programs that provide financial assistance to tribal members such as clothing grants, technology grants, academic achievement awards, TANF programs and per capita distributions are important benefits to the health and well-being of many Native American families.

Utilizing a unique Oklahoma law that allows tribes to be the direct authorizers of tribal charter schools, the Comanche Nation is increasing its ability to define and create its own educational goals for its children.
