TRIBAL HISTORY AND CULTURE PROJECT
Sample Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
A Memorandum of Agreement is a document that describes how two or more parties will work together to accomplish an agreed-upon goal or objective. The purpose of a MOA is to set forth a clear understanding of the parameters of the project and the responsibilities of each of the participating parties.
This sample can be used as a starting point for crafting a Memorandum of Agreement between a School District and a Tribe regarding the establishment of a government-to-government relationship and the development of Tribal history and culture curricula. Because the MOA is a legally binding document, districts are encouraged to have their legal counsel review the final document before it is signed.
