Bureau of Indian Affairs

Overview

The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is the oldest agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior, established in 1824. Its mission is to enhance the quality of life for American Indians, Indian tribes, and Alaska Natives by promoting economic opportunities and protecting trust assets. The BIA manages significant land and mineral resources, serving approximately 1.9 million individuals across 574 federally recognized tribes and Alaska Native villages.

The BIA provides a range of services focused on tribal empowerment and self-governance. Key areas include trust asset management, economic and community development, natural resources management, governance support, and infrastructure maintenance. Additionally, the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) offers educational services to around 42,000 Indian students, emphasizing cultural and holistic development. The BIA operates through a leadership structure that fosters government-to-government relationships and prioritizes tribal self-determination.
