The purpose of ANA is to promote the goal of economic and social self-sufficiency for American Indians, Native Hawaiians, Alaskan Natives, and other Native American Pacific Islanders, including American Samoa Natives. Purpose of Modification: To clarify how to figure the non-Federal share (NFS) that is required, per Section III, Part 2 Cost Sharing or Matching of the PA.
