Agencies and subagencies were created as administrative offices of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and its predecessors. Their purpose was (and is) to manage Indian affairs with the tribes, to enforce policies, and to assist in maintaining the peace. The names and location of these agencies may have changed, but their purpose remained basically the same. '''Many of the records of genealogical value (for the tribe and tribal members) were created by and maintained by the agencies'''.
 
Some [http://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/groups/075.html#75.19.46 records] of the Hopi Agency are in the [[National_Archives_Pacific_Region_(Riverside)|Pacific Regional Archives]] of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in Los Angeles<ref>Guide to Federal Records, Records of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Record Group 75. [http://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/groups/075.html Available online].</ref>. They consist mostly of administrative records for the Moqui Pueblo Agency prior to the name change which took place in 1923. However, there is a census of the Hopi Indians in the Western Navajo Agency, 1922-1924, and a Register of Pupils, 1907-1911 which may be of interest to family historians.
