Five major tribes have inhabited and continue to inhabit Utah: 1) Ute 2) Dine' (Navajo) 3) Paiute 4) Goshute and 5) Shoshone. The Indian Education Office provides technical assistance to school districts especially districts that receive federal Title VII Indian Education funding. The outreach is also extended to Tribal Nations and Education Departments plus community agencies that serve American Indian/Alaskan Native Families.

The Title VI Program is a Formula Grant Application funded through Elementary Secondary Education Act (ESEA) to those school districts who have a high concentration of American Indian/Alaskan Native students in their school districts. The Title VI Program is housed within the Student Advocacy Services (SAS) formally known as Federal Programs (ESEA).
