Hannahville Indian Community

Hannahville Indian Community, doing business as Island Resort And Casino, is a federally recognized Potawatomi tribal government based in Michigan's Upper Peninsula that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient to deliver health services, child care administration, victim services, library operations, and emergency preparedness programming to its tribal members and local communities. The tribe operates as a HUBZone-certified firm (certification expired June 3, 2008) and competes in federal grant programs reserved for tribal governments rather than through federal contracting vehicles; the vendor has no federal contract prime awardees and does not hold seats on GWACs or IDIQs.

Hannahville's federal footprint consists almost entirely of grant work—190 of 208 total awards (91%) are prime grants or cooperative agreements, with 18 awards (9%) flowing through sub-grants from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. The tribe's customer concentration runs heavily toward the Department of Health and Human Services, which accounts for 46% of recent award volume across three component agencies: the Public Health Service (35 awards), and the Administration for Children and Families (32 awards across two sub-agencies listed separately in the portfolio). The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office placed 12 awards. The top four funding agencies represent the entire visible concentration across the portfolio's coverage window. Recent representative prime grants include a $592,655 continuation award from the Office on Violence Against Women (October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028) for domestic violence victim services, transitional housing, and legal services to Indian women; a $480,000 EPA Region 5 Performance Partnership Grant (October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2029) for water quality protection, monitoring, and environmental program capacity building on tribal lands; a Tribal Opioid Response cooperative agreement from SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (September 30, 2024, through September 29, 2029) funding peer recovery coaching and opioid and stimulant use disorder treatment and prevention; recurring Child Care and Development Fund formula grants from the Office of Child Care for child care subsidies and quality improvement; and Native American Library Services Basics Project Grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services for library materials, staff training, and community programming.

Activity showed growth from 8 awards in 2022 to 18 in 2024, then moderated to 12 in 2025 and 5 awards year-to-date in 2026. Ten awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will face recompete. The tribe serves approximately 850 enrolled tribal members and descendants across 6,000 acres of reservation land in Menominee and Delta counties on Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Sub-grant work flows through the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and includes public health emergency preparedness, tribal behavioral health initiatives, victim services, and women's health coordination. The named subsidiary, Nah TAH Wahsh Public School Academy, is a minority-institution school district but does not appear in the recent grant awards listed.
