Bureau of Indian Affairs

The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is a vital component of the U.S. Department of the Interior, serving as a bridge between the federal government and the 574 federally recognized tribes, providing a wide range of services to approximately 2.5 million American Indian and Alaska Natives. With a focus on promoting self-governance, economic development, and enhancing the quality of life for tribal communities, the BIA plays a crucial role in addressing education, law enforcement, and resource management.

Indian Affairs implements federal education programs for nearly 46,000 students at 183 schools across the nation while working to ensure safe living environments and the protection of individual rights. As the landscape of Indian Affairs evolves, the organization continues to adapt its services to meet the needs of tribal nations and support their self-determination efforts.
