# §1200.4. May tribes exercise increased direction over their trust funds and retain the protections of Federal trust status?


Yes. The Tribal Self-Governance Act ([25 U.S.C. 458](/usc/25/458.md)) and the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act ([25 U.S.C. 450](/usc/25/450.md) et seq.) provide other options for trust funds management. A tribe may choose to manage its trust funds under the provisions of these Acts if it wishes. These options are covered by [25 CFR part 900](/cfr/25/part900.md) (the “Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act Program”) and [25 CFR part 1000](/cfr/25/part1000.md) (the “Self-Governance Program”).
