The Indian Health Service (IHS) is an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services responsible for providing federal health services to American Indians and Alaska Natives. The provision of health services to members of federally-recognized tribes grew out of the special government-to-government relationship between the federal government and Indian tribes. This relationship, established in 1787, is based on Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, and has been given form and substance by numerous treaties, laws, Supreme Court decisions, and Executive Orders.
The principal legislation authorizing Federal funds for health services to recognized Indian Tribes is the Snyder Act of 1921. It authorized funds "for the relief of distress and conservation of health...*...for the employment of...physicians...for Indian Tribes throughout the United States."
Congress passed the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (Public Law 93-638, as amended) to provide Tribes the option of either assuming from the IHS the administration and operation of health services and programs in their communities, or to remain within the IHS administered direct health system. Congress subsequently passed the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (P.L. 94-437), which is a health-specific law that supports the options of P.L. 93-638.
