FAQs
While both companies share similar mission and values, NativeArc is a separate company that is 51% owned by Native American Healthcare Solutions and 49% owned by Arc Health. This uniquely qualifies NativeArc for staffing opportunities that give preference or are exclusively set aside for Native American businesses.
The Buy Indian Act is a law designed to provide economic opportunities for Native American entrepreneurs and business owners. It enables the federal government to prioritize awarding certain contracts and projects exclusively to companies that are authentically owned and operated by Native Americans. By setting aside these contracts that only Native enterprises can compete for, the Act levels the playing field, increasing the ability of Native-owned businesses to secure federal contracts. Its core purpose is to offer contracting opportunities to these businesses as a means of supporting economic development within Native American communities.
Over 60% of IHS funding is allocated through self-determination contracts or self-governance compacts with tribes. This allows tribes to exercise greater self-determination over healthcare services and spending for their communities, rather than having the IHS solely administer those funds.
