Bureau of Indian Affairs
The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), a part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, plays a vital role in maintaining government-to-government relationships with federally recognized tribes, providing essential services to approximately 2.5 million American Indians and Alaska Natives. The BIA focuses on promoting self-governance, economic development, and community wellbeing, while ensuring the protection of tribal rights and resources.
Through its various programs, including education, law enforcement, and emergency management, the BIA supports 574 tribes across the nation, adapting its role to emphasize Indian self-determination. Its commitment to enhancing the quality of life in tribal communities reflects a significant evolution in the responsibilities of Indian Affairs over the last thirty years.
