# Administration for Native Americans (ANA)

> The Administration for Native Americans (ANA) is a program office within the
> Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and
> Human Services. ANA promotes social and economic self-sufficiency and cultural
> and language preservation for Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native
> Hawaiians and Pacific Islander communities, primarily through a discretionary
> grant program of roughly $45 million per year.

**ANA does not publish an API.** There is no OpenAPI, GraphQL, AsyncAPI, gRPC,
SOAP or MCP contract, no developer portal, no API key, and no rate limit. An
agent cannot call ANA. This file exists so an agent stops looking, and knows
exactly what does and does not exist.

## What ANA actually publishes

ANA's machine-readable footprint is two catalog records in the HHS enterprise
data inventory, both of which are metadata-only pointers (Socrata
`assetType: href`) to human-readable documents. Neither is queryable.

- [ANA Projects Report (c57a-jjpd)](https://healthdata.gov/d/c57a-jjpd): the 2010
  Congressional Report covering 70 ANA projects that ended in 2010. Issued
  2012-08-10, metadata last modified 2023-07-26. Licensed ODbL 1.0. Machine
  -readable record: `https://healthdata.gov/api/views/c57a-jjpd.json` (200,
  application/json). **Its only declared distribution,
  `https://www.acf.hhs.gov/ana/research`, returns HTTP 404.**
- [FY 2013 Congressional Report on the Social and Economic Conditions of Native
  Americans (j3ez-xsxr)](https://healthdata.gov/d/j3ez-xsxr): metadata-only
  record linking to https://acf.gov/media/14313 (200).
- [HHS DCAT-US 1.1 catalog](https://healthdata.gov/data.json): the enterprise
  data inventory both records live in. Conforms to
  https://project-open-data.cio.gov/v1.1/schema. 20,472 datasets, ANA's included.

## What is NOT available

- No SODA row API. `https://healthdata.gov/resource/c57a-jjpd.json` returns 403
  `{"error":true,"message":"no row or column access to non-tabular tables"}`.
- No CKAN Action API. `https://catalog.data.gov/api/3/action/package_show?id=...`
  returns 404, as do `package_search` and `package_list`.
- No `/.well-known/` documents. security.txt, openid-configuration,
  oauth-authorization-server, api-catalog, ai-plugin.json, agent-card.json and
  agent.json all return 404 on acf.gov, www.acf.hhs.gov, healthdata.gov and
  catalog.data.gov.
- No SDKs, no CLI, no Postman collection, no sandbox, no status page, no
  changelog, no deprecation policy, no MCP server, no A2A agent card.

## If you need ANA data programmatically

Read the DCAT record at `https://healthdata.gov/api/views/c57a-jjpd.json` for
metadata. The underlying reports are PDFs on acf.gov and must be parsed as
documents. There is no other route.
