The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) was formed in 1824 to deal with Native Americans inside the United States. The BIA manages land and natural resources for Native Americans.[1] It is responsible for the U.S. government's relationship with Native American tribes.[2] Sometimes, it helps with infrastructure and law enforcement.[1]
In the past, the BIA operated schools on Indian reservations.[3][4] Now, the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) provides money for schools.[4] Some of the schools are operated by the BIE and others are operated by the tribes themselves.[4]
