Bureau of Indian Affairs

The Bureau of Indian Affairs is a government agency headquartered in Washington, District of Columbia. It employs 1,583 people and generates approximately $1 billion in revenue. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is dedicated to improving the lives of American Indians, Indian tribes, and Alaska Natives. They work to enhance the quality of life for these communities, promote economic opportunities, and protect and manage trust assets entrusted to them. The Bureau of Indian Affairs has a long history, dating back to 1824. Over the years, the agency has adapted its approach in response to evolving federal policies, transitioning from assimilation-focused programs to those that support self-determination for Native American communities.
